Change Default Text Size Increment

[Cary Crusiau]

Hi, I would like to have the ability to change the default increment when using the Text > Size > Bigger and Text > Size > Smaller in Affinity Designer Desktop. The default seems to be 8 pts which is completely irrelevant to me…

According to the help file

Text > Size > Bigger -- increases the size of the text by ten increments
Text > Size > Smaller -- decreases the size of the text by ten increments

Text > Size > Precise Bigger -- increases the size of the text by one increment
Text > Size > Precise Smaller -- decreases the size of the text by one increment

I don't know what an "increment" is supposed to be though as tests show no consistent results.

I think “increments” needs to be defined more clearly in the Help.

I too am getting inconsistent results.

Sometimes Text Bigger adds a point to the text size and sometimes it adds 0.1 of a point, see attached GIF (which was taken using Publisher but both Publisher and Designer should work the same - I get the same result in both).

Has anyone fathomed this out? Or has it been added to a "things to fix" list?

I've just been trying to use the keyboard shortcut... text > bigger increased the text by 0.1 of a point. Precise bigger.. therefore appeared to do nothing.. perhaps it's trying to increment the size by 0.01 of a point!

It's ridiculous - and utterly useless currently.

It's something I normally do all the time with layouts.

Another example of how this software doesn't know if it's actually just an alternative to MS Word or it's a design tool?
