> The file arduino-modified.stl is a file that I exported from OpenSCAD itself. It appears to be the `arduino.ipt.stl`with the USB-B hardware removed, presumably in OpenSCAD. The site I highlighted...

I'll have more to say, I looked into this at the time `text()` was developed. Don't confuse aspects that are means for vertical (in LTR) spacing of lines of text,...

I'm not heavily pushing for unitifying, but if it is unitless, then the `text(size=)` is in `size` units, whatever they happen to be ATM. The whole premise of this issue,...

IF you are talking about the graphical object that `text()` generates, the actual unit size (say in ltr unitless _height_) is not in anyway related to the `size=` parameter. That...

BTW re Wikipedia _Em_ > The name em was originally a reference to the width of the capital M in the typeface and size being used, which was often the...

BTW#2 nice multiline text must be font specific. Eight years ago I had to [specifically program layout](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:415487) based on which letters a user specified in Customizer, and that was before...

OK, note to self, tomorrow throw up a bunch of splatter fonts to show that size and height (in OpenSCAD unitlesses) do not correlate. Good night.

Is there a common understanding of "Em" in a vertical context? [FreeType EM square](https://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/glyphs/glyphs-2.html) is not necessarily anything related to post scaled size. So is Emsize referring to point-size, ie...

Or in other words, if we ask for text size of 100 `text("X",size=100);` ![Capture-text-x-100dpi-x100](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/1972961/180597170-0af10de2-0829-4cdc-87a9-66da307a114a.JPG) we get a glyph of about a 100. And because in typefaces, particular glyphs can splatter...
