Font Song

[Doris Joo]

Hithere..my partner has just moved up from ST2 to 3...there seems to be a marked difference in size between the 2 versions in the font of the song list (on the left ) when playing a set ..making it difficult to see..

Can that text size be increased to match the old size of St2 anywhere ?

Thanks in Advance

The text size is the same but version 2 did support increased text size settings from the iOS accessibility settings. So if you changed this setting, you will see different sizes. With default settings both version have the same font size.

It seems that when I import lyrics to songs from Song Select there is a formatting issue. I try to increase the size of the font, but it will only go to 54 or 55 and that is it. I have read the posts about increasing the font size and none of that helped. I do not want to type all the lyrics in to all my songs. When I do type something in it will increase in size to whatever I want but will not do it with import from Song Select. This is a game changer for me it it doesn't work.

Taking Jesus Paid as an example, I managed to increase the font size to 68. I did this by using the Customise tab (far left of the screen) to stretch the borders of the presentation. The text would not increase beyond 68. If you want to go larger than this, you will need to change the layout and split the longer lines (as Mike has suggested). 'Child of weakness watch and pray', etc., is no doubt the culprit.

Hi. We're using "import from elvanto" to manage songs and it's working great. thanks for setting that up. having some issues with font size. When a line is too long it is shrinking font size, sometimes marginally but enough to notice between songs. i've noticed when putting lyrics directly into proclaim a box will appear warning that font size is shrunk... this doesn't seem to happen when importing from elvanto.

Have you tried increasing the size of the lyric text box itself as well? You should be able to select the corners of the text box and drag it out, allowing more room for increased font size or longer lyric lines.

It's a full size text box. And the point is, how do I know when I need to do something like this? The textbox says text is size 50 but it's not and there's no warning. I have found myself even holding a ruler to the screen to compare songs because I can't tell if my eyes are playing tricks on me re auto-size adjustment.

So we did some testing. You will receive a warning if a particular verse line is too long, and needs to be downsized to fit the width of the text box, but you won't necessarily receive a warning if the font is reformatted because there are too many lines to fit the box vertically.

This was the behaviour I was experiencing when i started this thread: whole song would be reduced in size, sometimes marginally without warning when importing a song from elvanto with a long lyric line.

Like Justin said "You will receive a warning if a particular verse line is too long, and needs to be downsized to fit the width of the text box, but you won't necessarily receive a warning if the font is reformatted because there are too many lines to fit the box vertically."

It isn't going to really indicate where in the song it is happening, but just give you a message letting you know your song layout needs line breaks. We could do a better job on pin pointing where in the song you need to insert a line break to give a better user experience. Is that something you are looking for?

I'm not sure if this is just an elvanto bug. We use elvanto to manage all our songs and import from there each week. We really do want a warning message in the way you describe. I'm not as concerned about vertical spacing, or even where the issue is. Just a warning would be good.

I sort of get why you'd do this... to try and avoid a mismatch in font size between lines... but to change font in the first instance without warning also produces an undesirable - different font size throughout presentation. But my honest opinion is that this is too much smarts and not enough user control

In the following pdf you can see the line gets slightly longer in each pic... font size changes and only at the end (threshold exceeded) does a warning box appear and a single line font size is changed.

The issue with line size is always coming up in my Teams.

It would be way more intuitiv and user friendly if the text Sizes would be fixed to what is set.

Is this something that is already in work or even considered?

I pulled up this thread with the same thought as Rubin. I asked Faithlife about this a couple years back when we first started using it. I was hoping that Faithlife had come around to recognize that users need the freedom at times, to TURN OFF the auto-scale feature of font sizing??

The font size issues folks have shared so far have annoyed me for a long time. For our church, one particular issue is this: we often want to show Chinese and English lyrics on the same slide, for instance two lines of Chines followed by two lines of English. We appreciate that we can actually enter Chinese characters! However, to show big enough characters for the audience to see, we need to up the font size more than what we desire for the English part. It would be really nice if we can select lines (even words) to change font size for, just like in Word or Powerpoint.

Our problem is, if we up the font size to get the desired size for Chinese characters, English font size becomes un-uniform, and short lines get really big. I end up having to take out English lines and insert another text box for them so that I can change the font size for the Chinese box and English box separately. It takes a long time to do that. And you have to do that editing every time for a new song, even though you can save it for the same song after you have done it once.

The Desktop license covers the most common uses. Each license covers one user to create graphics and files for things like logos, mockups, work sheets, type/text designs, etc. and use those images on tangible products like business cards, books, and shirts in some documents and other digital files.

You will need to type in the number of users you want to license. Users are the number of people or computers who will be allowed to access the font. Common uses covered by the Desktop License include Graphic Designs (logos, signs, stationary, etc.) and use on Products (mugs, t-shirts, hats, etc.).

If you would like to license use in more than one title, you will need to type the quantity in above. One eBook title equals one eBook title or one issue of an eMagazine or eNewspaper. Please contact us for bulk licensing.

The Server License allows you to install a font on the server of a product creation website, which enables its customers to customize and purchase product creations (t-shirts, business cards, etc.) using the licensed fonts.

The issue I was experiencing a few months ago had to do with a change in the Win 10 Font Installer. The font installer on Windows 10 now installs fonts only for the local user instead of installing them globally on the system.

My suggestion for next Quelea release would be to also let Quelea read local user fonts instead of system only if it is possible. The file path for these would be C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Fonts.

Song And Writer Font is a stylish neat display font inspired by typewriters. It will be suitable for many industries such as, accessories, advertisement, author, caf, clothing brand, event or festival, fashion, furniture, graphic design, musician, photography, restaurant, spa salon, songwriter, writer, etc.

Song And Writer Font will be suitable for billboard, brand logo, brochure, business card, cover, embossed design, flyer, labels, mockup design, packaging design, paragraph, poster, quotes, signage, stationery, title, website, etc. This casual font works well when paired with other fonts and is still easy to read.

Formed during the pandemic, Font features two drummers and lots of electronic effects alongside their sharp-angled guitars. They could be lumped in with the post-punk revival, but I hear a lot of dance influences too: songs are rhythmically-forward, tricky but rooted in making you move. They seem to sit right on the edge of joy and rage, which makes Font completely absorbing as a live band.

On the other hand, the Roman font within Fang Song is absolutely ghastly to my eye, and it uses the Chinese punctuation with the wide spacing, so in mixed text I have to keep swapping between that and TNR.

The font size in the BluOS Controller app is WAY TOO SMALL! Specifically, when a song is playing, it is almost impossible to read the name of the artist/album/song. The font is not only too small, it is kind of grayish (not pure white), which makes it even harder to read.

Yeah, I know what you mean. They could've at least explain why they wouldn't do it. Is it because their "design philosophy" prohibits it, or could there be legal matters or something? There must be a good reason. Dear Bluesound, could you do us a favor and tell us what is that reason? We really need to know, so we can at least put it to rest.

Thank you for your answer. Regarding changing the font size in the OS. First of all, I'm not using a laptop and I'm not using Windows either. I have a Mac mini running macOS Monterey, but that's not really the point. Mac or Windows - makes no difference.
