TEXT ON INTERFACE DIFERS FROM PUBLISH PAGE

Post by rinconcete »

When I fill a text in a page, the size on the interface is so small than barely I cannot read it, although when I publish the page, the size is enormous. For example, when I write a text in size 12 the text on the interface is so small I berely can't read it, but on the published web the size (I can see on the font code), appears as 17 size !!!

This may be useful:
viewtopic.php?f=10&t=85917

Also, note that sizes in the application are in points (PT) while the published sizes are in pixels (PX)!

Thank you, but it is not possible to change it on the interface by each user?

In most software (like MS word or other word processors) the fonts size is in points, that is why the UI uses points.
The font output size must be in pixels otherwise the size would not be the same on all computers.

Thank you again; but on previus version of UI, the size font of the arial (oir example) appears on the front as the same size, apparently, and I was able see on the front more o less the same size that in publised page; but on 16.3, I bearly can see the text I am writting. Why is that? I am not talking now about px or points, the question is the size in my front that is so small to see it.

I did'n know that. The problem is that only occurs using text, not pictures or any other items. That is, I barely was able to see the text, but I was able to see the rest of items. My screen is 4K, but I suposed than all element ought to appear in te same size, more o less.
Any way, I fixed the problem thank you your advises. You are very kind and patient.
Alex.
