Hi Linus,
glad to see you're using KDE/KOffice from CVS ;-)

I have fixed this bug - indeed, the DPI setting (point->pixel conversion) was 
applied twice, once in koffice and once in Qt. Whoops. Thanks for that report,
it put me on the right track for fixing the font size problem.
I still have to check what happens when printing though.

Not far indeed, 79x81.

KPresenter and KWord now share the same text formatting engine ("kotext").
so they are both fixed by the kotext commit.
The rest of KOffice is unaffected.

Thanks for your interest in KOffice - oh, and thanks for Linux ;-)
