Describe the bug

After exporting a diagram I noticed that draw.io font sizes are inconsistent with other applications. I found this post suggesting that a draw.io point seems to equal a CSS q point (0.25 mm), not a standard DTP point (0.3528 mm). Is this intended behavior? It took me a while to figure out why my exported diagrams had different font sizes than intended, and would be nice to have a setting for using DTP pt sizes.

draw.io version (In the Help->About menu of the draw.io editor):

• draw.io version [e.g. 14.6.13]

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: macOS 11.4

I just started trying out drawio and the nonconventional size of pt units was an immediate issue. In the app it appears that 100 pts = 1 inch. The standard is 72 pts = 1 inch. I come from a graphic design background where pts are commonly used and 72 pts always equal 1 inch in my experience. Drawio is the only exception I have come across and it would be much easier to use if it followed the standard.
