Created attachment 112602 [details] Screen Shot of Text Sizes in a 1600 x 1200 Document (Zoomed to Fit) The text tool font sizes are a fixed selection from 6 pt to 72 pt. Unfortunately for me even the smallest is very large. I will include a screen shot. Note that the smallest size (6 pt) is much larger than the font size in the UI, and certainly isn't 0.083 in (assuming 1 pt = 1/72 in). 6 pt is usually a very small font, but not here. The net result is that even using the smallest font size, the text is too big to look good. This may be owing to the fact my Display 1 is high-res @ 250 DPI. However, Krita is running on a Cintiq on Display 2 @ 96 DPI. Krita is set to "Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling set by System." This means Windows tells it the DPI is 96, which is correct for the Cintiq anyway. (Enable H-DPI support is unchecked because it doesn't give good results, probably owing to its not being PER_MONITOR_DPI_AWARE.)
What is the dpi of the image? The dpi of the screen is irrelevant. Sounds to me like a duplicate of bug 394156
The DPI of the image is 300. At 1600 x 1200, that makes it 3" high, and the fonts are consistent with that. So now I understand how it works, and it isn't a bug. I thought when I made it that it was 16" x 12" @ 300 dpi, in which case I wouldn't have had this problem. I apparently got the wrong preset. I would still like a smaller font. Other programs let you enter a number for the font. But that would be a feature request. I have figured out in the meantime that I can use the SVG mode and set the size, which is a workaround. I apologize for the submission, and I appreciate your help.
4.0.3 lets you enter any number for the font - it was released today :-)
Thanks. I just downloaded it and see that. Cool.
