Evan D Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 I'm using Affinity Designer 1.8.3 on OSX Catalina. Selecting a font size from the pre-populated font size dropdown in the text toolbar, I often find that the available size increments are either too small or too large. I want to be able to click and drag left or right on (or next to) the font size parameter field to increase/decrease the font size. You can currently do this with other parameters in the character panel, but not the size. A slider would be another option that would give me the control I want.

Hi @Evan D, you can move your mouse just above the font size read out and use the scroll wheel (if you have one) to increase or decrease the font size in 1pt steps. You don't even have to click or drag. CTRL+scroll (on Windows) changes by a tenth of a point, SHIFT+scroll changes by 10x increments. d.

Evan D Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 Hey @dominik. Thanks for that tip! That works great with my laptop trackpad, or mouse. It may not be exactly what I need when I'm using my drawing tablet, but I've yet to test that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that on some input devices (other than mouse or trackpad) this may not work too well. In this regard your request to have a dedicated screen area to drag on it may be a good idea. d.
