Find by font-size

Postby rinbad » Fri Apr 03, 2015 1:54 am

I have a number of text-items in font-size 4.257 pt (no, I didn't choose anything so odd -- it's the result of reading a file exported from another program). I'd like to select them all so as to be able to change to my standard 4 pt for that sort of entry. But I can't seem to manage to get "Find & Replace" to come up with anything at all when searching by attribute-name or attribute-value. I've looked at the Manual for help but am none the wiser. Can anyone tell me what I ought to be doing, please?

My first guess is that 4.257 pt is not the exact value.
Select one of those text objects, open the xml editor (Shift+Ctrl+X) and copy the right value, like font-size:383.1300048828px and
paste that in the find and replace panel.
(I tested only the Ctrl+F find panel's style tab and it worked.)

posting.php?mode=reply&f=5&t=18648#You're absolutely right -- I should have been looking for 4.99990416px and not 4.257 pt! Thank you very much indeed.
