Should FONTSIZE be optional? #64

Closed chris1010010 closed 4 years ago

chris1010010 commented 5 years ago

At the moment FONTSIZE in TextStyle is required. If the font size is not available, no other style attributes can be used. Is that by design? For example, it is not possible to store FONTCOLOR unless also FONTSIZE is provided.

I fully agree that this should be optional. Especially since it is sometimes impossible to know the font size: if the image has no DPI associated, there is no way to know what the printed font size is.

Thanks for raising this - I have put it on the agenda for the upcoming 2019-12-13 Board meeting.

As per the 2019-12-13 Board meeting, it is proposed to change FONTSIZE from required to optional, i.e.:

<xsd:attribute name="FONTSIZE" type="xsd:float" use="required">
  <xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:documentation>The font size, in points (1/72 of an inch).</xsd:documentation>
  </xsd:annotation>
</xsd:attribute>

to:

<xsd:attribute name="FONTSIZE" type="xsd:float" use="optional">
  <xsd:annotation>
    <xsd:documentation>The font size, in points (1/72 of an inch).</xsd:documentation>
  </xsd:annotation>
</xsd:attribute>
