inaccurate calculation in unit conversion to point

[Kanahiro]

＜ラベルのポイント数について＞ v0.0.9プラグインでエクスポートした際、JSONに書き出されるラベルのサイズが設定値と若干変わってしまうようです。 (例) QGIS設定値 ⇒ JSONの値 7.0pt ⇒ 6.75pt 8.0pt ⇒ 8.25pt 10.0pt ⇒ 9.75pt 2.0mm ⇒ 6.0pt （実際は2mmは約5.7pt） 添付画像は、P_districtsレイヤのラベルが7ptに設定されているところ、JSONでは6.75ptになってしまっているところです。 恐れ入りますが、ご確認をいただけますと幸いです。

No difference when convert point to point in P_districts

Point to point conversion looks not have problem

mm to pt has small gap To be: 2mm = 5.699 pt

[bordoray]

Looks to come directly from "extract label" processing tool. Size in point for 4mm should be 11.338582677 pt.

I am suspecting something wrong to extract label algorithm based on dpi, crs and scale...

[bordoray]

Dpi looks to vary depending on dpi here implemented iface.mapCanvas().mapSettings().outputDpi() is 144 Default dpi is set as 96

Label is set as 4mm which is truely 11.338582677 pt

[bordoray]

size may be calculated as below const double fontSize = static_cast<double>( font.pixelSize() ) * 72 / context.painter()->device()->logicalDpiX(); https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/blob/3a4a9f08bdc7630120ab7a0f55d5f8e68371c50b/src/analysis/processing/qgsalgorithmextractlabels.cpp#L246

We guess why this occurs:

• fontsize any units might be converted to pixelsize
• return value of QFont.pixelSize() is int. this is discrete value despite fontsize is countinuous value.
• countinuous value(fontsize) is rounded into discrete value (pixelsize). this may cause error.

IMO, this is QGIS natural behaivior and not bug. Labels rendered in canvas may be sized in pixel. Then there is no problem inside QGIS.
