Questions about the list of point sizes in the Text tool's Font Size dropdown

[Tactilis]

These questions arise as a result of an AutoHotkey script I am developing.


Q1. Regarding the Text tool's Font Size dropdown, do all users see the same list of font sizes? Or does it depend in some way on the particular fonts that are installed?

Q2. Why are these particular sizes displayed? The difference between adjacent sizes increases as you progress down the list, but has an odd drop in 2 places.
Why is this please?
Are the sizes displayed in some sense 'standard' font sizes?

Might be worth pointing out here that decimals are supported, so you don't have to clamp the size to whole numbers.

It's been said before, but this also applies to the brush size selector

Agreed. I understand that.

But it's not the manual entry of size I was asking about.

I was just checking whether it's a fixed list for all users, or whether the list is based on some factor(s) that I don't know about.
My supposition is that it's fixed, which is pertinent to my AHK script.

The 2nd question was more out of interest... why those particular sizes and the steps between them?

It's a fixed list, but it's not necessarily set in stone. It may or may not change in the future.
