randomjames Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Hey guys, turns out I use a lot of text sized at 30 points. Is it possible to add that value to the text size presets in the dropdown? It's a big jump from 24 pt to 36 pt! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoBu Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Simply write in this field. Or raise the text at a corner point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomjames Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Thanks LoBu. Yeah, I'm aware of the text height field, I was just thinking that 30 pt is a common size, and would be a good idea to include in the drop down. No biggie :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen_H Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 It would be great to be able to specify the entire font size list in the preferences somewhere. I would love to add 4pt and 5pt which are super useful for stationery. I do, however find the list very long and the 96/144/288pt feel a bit random. I'd like to be able to shorten it and add just one huge top end point size that I can just jump my font to. I have used an app in the distant past that allowed me to make my own list of font sizes (FreeHand? Painter? I can't remember…). I think it also allowed for default stroke thicknesses to be defined as well. ronnyb and A_B_C 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomjames Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 ^ This. Having control over the font sizes in the preferences or another area would be super duper. anon1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 I've added 5pt and 30pt to the standard text sizes, for the next beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bauke Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Using a harmonic scale has been an important element in professional typography for centuries. The classic typographic scale is diatonic: 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 21, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, 72. Of course, harmonic scales based on different ratios can be found too. You can read more about the scales here: http://spencermortensen.com/articles/typographic-scale/ and in the book The Elements of Typographic Style by Robert Bringhurst. Because of those different scales, and the request from users above, I would like to see the ability to make presets yourself and save and import them like you can with brushes. That way we can have multiple scales of our own liking, and easily transfer them between users. If this is not possible, I'd vote for the classic typographic scale.
