I use xfig to create some figures (actually, team rosters for volleyball tournaments). I layed out the lines a long time ago, and I fill in name with Text mode. If a name doesn't fit, I usually decrease the text fontsize until it does. Since RH9, I started to notice that the text being displayed doesn't actually change size on the screen unless I change it by at least 4 point sizes. This is annoying since I can't tell which if the four settings is the one I need to use. I think that this is some kind of a font scaling issue, but I'm not sure where to look.
I'm trying to use the NewCenturySchlbk-BOLD font at 24 pts.
But, I don't see any change until I reduce the size to 20 pts.
But (again), I do see the result when I print the file!
