Text: bigger font size

Post by pdelges » 31 Dec 2014 12:29

Text's font size is limited to 24pt, and changing the size attribute in the jzml file doesn't work.

I hoped that Canvas would give me a solution, but I couldn't display bigger texts with a Canvas object than with a Text object.

I found this solution, but it's not really an option for me:

Is there any hope to get bigger fonts in Text or Canvas in the future? Or did somebody found a workaround?

Hi
2 options spring to mind depending on what you actually need....

1. Check out the canvas_scale command to enlarge canvas text - some pixelation of image occurs ...

2. Design letter paths for. Needed characters and draw them in the canvas ...

Hope that helps ...

Thanks Macciza!

I didn't know about canvas_scale (I should read the doc more carefully).
It doesn't look very well, but as it's still readable it's probably fine for what I need.

Designing letters myself… I'm not very much into reinventing the wheel.

I guess there must be a good reason to limit the font size, but it would be a good idea to rise the limit to something bigger ;-)
