I read a post from 2019 that said when you change the font that it was actually modifying the TRANSFORM, but that was going to change. I have v1.7.08 running on Windows 10 and I have the same issue now. I am uploading 2 images both say the font is 16.54 but there is an obvious difference between the two. Has this issue returned?
Hi There I missed changing that back to 0 but as you will see below, setting it to 0 does not seem to affect the size
Iâm using version 1.7.03 and canât replicate the issue⌠It always works fine here.
Can you share the file to see if it has the same issue?
This is the template to use for Jesus Scotch Glasses.lbrn2 (1.9 MB)
I am copying the file here for your perusal
Just so you know, That is not the font size. It is the font height in mm. That is how Lightburn does it because it is vectors and not word processing.
Yes, seeing this unusual behavior in the file shared. Does this happen with other files you have? How was that text generated? Please provide the steps taken as best you can recall. We are trying to reproduce, so helpful to know how this may have happened. 
To recreate this: I received an email with a list of names
I copied each name and pasted it into lightburn
I now had a list of names
Grabbed the first one in the list and reduced it to fit into the template (image of the glass - the box is how I center it and make sure it is not larger than I can handle)
When I was done with the first name I dragged it out and grabbed the 2nd name in the list - That was when I noted that the reduced one to fit the template was showing the same size as one that had not yet been manipulated to fit.
After reaching out, @LightBurn reminded me, this is a known issue still on our list to address.
To reproduce:
- 1 - Create âTextâ object
- 2 - Draw âShapeâ
- 3 - Select both and âGroupâ
- 4 - âScaleâ this group
- 5 - Ungroup to see âTextâ continues to report the original size
Groups are objects that have scale. When you ungroup, the scale is passed to their children. It doesnât push those scales into the property values of the objects like just scaling the object itself does. It could be made to do that, but it hasnât yet.
For cases where itâs possible, first on our list, âpushing scale back into primitives, like textâ. Longer term, a âtransformâ display for objects to show their rotation, scale, translate and skew values. Not there just yet.
As @Rick stated, now I can see the issue too.
Following the steps from post#8 I can replicate that issue.
So thatâs a known issue to address.

Thank You to All who responded - understanding why was my intent and I do now. This is not too bothersome as I can reszie the text without issue.
