Adelea Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 (edited) Hi, I create a new image : File -> New and specify a size of 500x750 I then choose the Text tool, and choose Calibri at 40 point, the text is quite small. If I save the image, then open it, and then go to add text, it is much larger. The attached shows the text as entered on a fresh image, and the larger at the bottom after saving/loading the image. This happens with 4.2 (from windows store), and 4.2.1 beta 7152 -M Edited August 5, 2019 by Adelea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zagna Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Try changing the Metric setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelea Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 OK, so on a newly created image, it defaults to Points, and creates tiny text. Switching to Fixed does indeed make the text larger. If I load an image, it defaults to Points, and creates larger text. Switching to Fixed has no apparent effect on text size. What is interesting, is if I create the image as "pixels/inch", it defaults to 96dpi -- and text appears as the correct size regardless of what the Metric is set to. If I create the image as "pixels/cm", it gives 37.8, which (37.8 * 2.54 = 96.012) is close to 96dpi, then the Metric does have an effect. So, I think there is a bug in there somewhere! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Yeah, that's clearly a bug. I'll see if I can get it fixed for the 4.2.1 update that's coming out very soon.

Rick Brewster Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 This is fixed for the upcoming 4.2.1 release. Thanks for reporting it! The conversion from dpcm to dpi was being done wrong. It was dividing, instead of multiplying, by 2.54.
