ActiveAdam Posted February 19, 2022 Posted February 19, 2022 I have a document in Affinity Publisher. It is my "default styles" document. I have got the paragraph and character styles just how I want them. And I have clicked the Text Styles menu and clicked "Save Styles as Default" so all new docs have that formatting. PROBLEM I have a legacy document that I want to update to the new styles. I have tried everything but, when I Import the styles from my document, the font sizes are not being brought in properly. I have tried deleting all the styles in the legacy doc... I have tried copying content from my core document into the legacy document. There is something wrong. I have even tried starting a new document. And completely starting from scratch. And that seems OK. BUT, when I then import the styles again from my core document, Boom... the font sizes are huge. So, the problem is on the IMPORT.... IN CORE My "no styles" is font size 11. My Basic Paragraph is font size 10 My H1 is Font size 28 In the document I am importing to. Be that the legacy or a new document, the fonts sizes are DOUBLE the size. I can not work out what is going on. Nowhere in my core document are the font sizes this big. And all my text is clear of any over-rides. The text styles are 'pure'. I have now idea what to do... but importing Text Styles is key for me so I can update a tonne of legacy docs. Quote
walt.farrell Posted February 19, 2022 Posted February 19, 2022 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. Interesting problem, that I haven't heard before. But for a guess, do all documents have the same DPI?

ActiveAdam Posted February 20, 2022 Author Posted February 20, 2022 You ... are a genius.... I didn't think of that. Somehow... my core document is 600dpi. How? I have no idea. But I would never have thought to look at DPI as, in my head, I do everything 300dpi, CMYK, 3mm bleed etc etc... It's weird how it doubles the font size in the actual font size value. I think, if it had kept it at, say, 28pt for the H1... but visually been twice the size, I may have not gone down the rabbit hole of Styles so deeply. Thank you so much. So grateful. : -) Quote
