Increase/decrease font size in comments?

Post by bob_sun »

Hi,

In MS software {Word, Powerpoint, etc.}, there are two buttons {increase font, decrease font}.

In XChange viewer comments, text boxes, may I increase or decrease fonts like this? I frequently annotate using subscript and superscripts, and I found that if I select a new font size for a whole paragraph of text (in textbox, etc.), all subscript and superscripts would get lost and all texts have a uniform size.

Subscript and superscripts actually have different font size than surrounding texts. Is it possible to do font=font±1 so that size 7→8, size 9→10, and alike, but not all to a same size?

Try using Unicode superscripts: ¹²³ (Alt + 0185, 0178, 0179), etc.

Bhikkhu,

This works. But there are many other possible sub/superscripts, and in fact all keyboard characters can belong be put in sub/superscripts, especially in math formula.

Is there a way to use existing keyboard characters?

Only the way that you already know — reapply super/subscripts after changing the font size.

Only Tracker support can say whether its feasible to fix this.

Hi Bob,

This may be something we can look at in the future, but at this time we are applying all our resources to our version 3 release.

Regards,
Jamie.
