Font too big when editing text

Post by mtoiv » Tue Dec 02, 2025 12:00 pm

I need to add text with big font to the drawing, but in the editor itself the text gets so large, so it is impossible to use the editor easily. It would be better if the font was smaller in the editor itself and big only in the drawing.

Could this be fixed somehow?

QCAD version is 3.28.1 and Windows 10.

The text height of the main font (left top) is set to "1". The inline text formatting then changes the text height to "50". The text editor is optimising its scale to the main font.

Please change the main font text height at the left to "50" instead.
