Charlie...
That works fine , what I did on the first one I resized text layer manually to fit better. I compacted and made the font taller. When I did that I changed the whole font characteristic so there is no way for me to duplicate it easily. No way to make the text layer static ? The percent would work then ? As usual I do things the hard way....
Thanks Joe..
Yes if you rely on the font size parameter when text-editing to get the layer how you want then making copies of the layer to create more text with the same font and scaling shouldn't be an issue. It's only when manual scaling is applied after editing a text-layer that you risk having to manually re-scale it again if the need for going back into the text-editing mode arises, as PixelCNC enforces a certain pixel density for text-layers so that there's effectively a uniform relationship across all text-layers using the same font and font size. If one layer is scaled differently then changing its font size to match another layer that isn't manually scaled will end up requiring the use of a different font size just to get the same letter sizing.
The font size controls the number of pixels used to rasterize the text using the selected font, and accommodating for manual scaling means a user could effectively make the font size inconsistent, and scale up a text-layer with a small font size, which would result in a text-layer with very pixelated looking text! That's why PixelCNC calculates a new size for given text/font/size, to maintain a consistent pixel resolution for the text itself.
I suppose it's theoretically possible for PixelCNC to somehow determine the optimal text rasterization resolution for a given layer size, but then there'd be no way to control the absolute lettering sizing so that it's consistent across multiple text-layers, then you'd be stuck with manually scaling text exclusively.
