Hi,

I need to help me . Which is better “Point” or “Pixel” ?  
When and why should I use them?

I say exactly about “Text”. My App export to Android and IOS  
I used point unit but I see it too small in IOS && too large in Android ☹

Regards,

Points are the preferred (and default) unit in Fuse. Points are pixels multiplied by screen density.

Say, if you have a font size of 16pt, and a device with screen density 1, then the fonts are 16px high. On a density 2 screen it’s 32px. And so on.

Thus, specifying sizes in points should result in something that looks about the same actual size on all different screen densities.
