Make the font size the real size
Have an option to make font size match the actual size. Example: A typical sans serif font was chosen and specified to be a 6 inch in the font size box. In order to get the letter to that height I have to create a rectangle 6 inches tall or make two horizontal guides six inches apart and then keep increasing the font size until the height matches the rectangle. In my test case I ended up with a font size of 8.9 inches to get a 6 inch letter height. All of the dedicated sign programs I've used in the past are set up that if you choose a six inch font size, the capital letter H is 6 inches tall. Why can't we have a check box in preferences "make fonts actual size"?
