Created attachment 111817 [details] GIMP's font size control for reference. krita-4.1.0-pre-alpha-39cc9f9-x86_64.appimage Krita's text tool uses a droplist to control font size. However the values are hardcoded with increasingly bigger intervals. These preset values are not sufficient. In most cases it is impossible to get an ideal font size with this current setup. As a workaround for now, we can use transformation tool on Text objects to do the fine-tuning. However, this is probably not a new user would think of. Most people would like to get it right in the editor because in that way a single font size can be easily used across all text blocks. I suggest we: 1) Replace the droplist with an input box with +/- buttons. 2) Add units as a droplist. 3) Allow point values like 12.5 pt for better fine-tunning.
