Zoom in the text tool

Wed Jan 27, 2021 1:47 pm
Hello,

I have been using Krita for a while now to make comics and I use the text tool quite a lot. One thing that has been bothering me a lot is that it is impossible to zoom in the text box.
I use small text sizes and I can't see the text I'm typing in the box because it is displayed too small. Hence, I actually type and apply the change to make the text display on my drawing, to be then able to check what I wrote. And this is not really convenient to avoid typos! I saw it is possible to zoom in the SVG tab though, but not the enriched text one. Could a zoom option could be implemented here?

Thanks for considering, and thank you for your hard work.

The problem is that the text editor widget we use, from the Qt library, really is dumb when it comes to zooming: if you zoom in, it simply makes all the font sizes bigger, instead of really zooming. We haven't found a solution yet :-(
