When setting the font size in markup (for example <TextBlock FontSize="8pt">Something</TextBlock>) there doesn't seem to be any difference between points (pt) and pixels (px), even though markup controls seem to accept them both. This means that in order to match the rest of the UI in my app that uses Segoe UI at 8pt, I have to set the markup to 11px (as 8pt is much too small).

What I don't know is how setting the font size in PX instead of PT might affect things when 1) changing to different fonts, or 2) changing the system DPI.

Is this the expected behaviour for Markup/XAML...Should PT and PX really be interpreted the same? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Hello,

Thanks, indeed now "pt" and "px" are ignored and used always "px" . But I see Micorosoft's XAML is support it, so we will add it for 12.0 release. thanks.

btw now if you don't specify any size, will be used default font you have for Label...

Oleg,

Do you mean that this fix will be added to the NEXT release of v12.x or did u mean this functionality exists in the current 12.0 release? I have the same issue so I'm curious.

Hi,

"pt", "px" (also "cm" and "in") was not supported in 12.0.0 version and added for comming 12.0.1.
