Dear Friends,

I have the following SVG code.



I tried to view this file using
1. IE8+Adobe SVG Viewer
2. Mozilla Firefox 5.0.1
3. Inkskape in Ubuntu 9.04
4. GIMP in Ubuntu 9.04

In all places I found that actual text size is not 120 pixel !
How is this?

How to make its height 120 pixel?

Sincerely,
Srinivas Nayak

you should specify the units (e.g. px) for the width and height svg element.

I had specified px also. But no change.

how did you arrive at the conclusion that your text is not 120 pixels?
A lot of fonts specified at particular px size will look visibly different in height. That's because the designs are very different in height whilst still conforming to the specified X height. It's even allowed that a font specified with particular size can go over this, onto the leading. That's for print design though......for the web (web technologies, which includes svg) the font size actually specifies X height + leading.
Then there's also the display itself, where the DPI setting and other aspects of screen display...things displayed at 100% zoom are usually not displayed 100% actual size.
