Font size bug?

[andy-julot]

When I set typesetting to "Use global setting", the font size result is very strange. The generated json file for font size seems to be bigger than what I selected in font style. But the generated font size in the result image is much smaller. I'm really confused here.

The font size shown in GUI is point size, and it is stored as pixel size for cross-platform compatibility. Here's the convert function, note shared.LDPI is assigned to the right value (usually bigger than 72) once app is launched: https://github.com/dmMaze/BallonsTranslator/blob/cad1ff4cba035e31bb2bce237cf11fea74056f32/utils/fontformat.py#L6-L10

As for the smaller font size in the generated image, is the stroke width > 0?

I see, so that's why they're different.

Oh yes, I use 0.2 for stroke. But I think that's not a problem. Let me illustrate what I means.

Here is my setting:

After I click Run this is the result:

Because the generated text is outside of the balloon boundary, I adjust it:

Because I think I can still increase the font size I try to change the font size, that's when I realize something strange. After I change the size to other than 20 and back to 20 by choosing the font size combo box, the generated text seems bigger like this:

Wasn't it supposed to be the same size?

After I click Run this is the result:

Double click this text block, the font size displayed in the font menu should be less than 20. It is adjusted so that font size + stroke size = target size, it is meaningful for automatic mode (to match the source text size) but not for use global setting, it should be fixed by 66d191e

It fixed now, thank you.
