Joey O Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Hi, Can't find any similar problem on Google so I'll presume I'm doing this wrong rather than it being a bug? That said, it doesn't seem very intuitive if the following doesn't work? I create a Frame Text and enter text I select the frame and change the font size in the top bar from 12pt to 50pt The size doesn't change? I also try selecting text inside the frame and doing the same, without any change in size. Any text frame I select shows the font size as what I last set but it always is visibly the same as its original size. The only way I can visibly change it is dragging the outer handle but I need specific font sizes and the ability to quickly input them so this doesn't solve the situation. I'm used to setting paragraph styles for more serious projects in other software rather than manually targeting each frame. I haven't looked into this yet (I'm aware it's a feature included) but there are times, for smaller projects, where I don't want to set up styles and prefer to set each paragraph individually. I don't know how I'm missing how I'm getting such a simple adjustment wrong? (using Publisher 1.9.0 on macOS 10.14.6) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey O Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Updated to 1.9.1 with no change. For reference, this is the font size (in the centre) that I mention that is making no difference to the displayed font size in text frames.

GarryP Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 The Font Size field is the one over to the left (in your image “12pt”) beside the Font Style (in your image “Regular”). The one near the middle is for Paragraph Leading. Hover the mouse over a field for a second or so to see a Tooltip showing what it is used for.

Joey O Posted March 2, 2021 Author Share Posted March 2, 2021 Ah, I do feel stupid now, thanks. Moreso for assuming there was only one font size in that nav bar and posting here before double-checking. I was more fixated with getting that setting to work and I guess I was scanning for a pt adjustment and wasn't expecting a less priotised parameter to get equal billing on the same nav bar. Thanks!

GarryP Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 You shouldn’t feel bad; it’s an easy-enough mistake to make when you’re focused. Plus, you gave us enough good information to quickly find the problem and give you an answer. Not everyone does, so thanks for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
