LaTeX fontsize scaling with page size

Postby DarenK » Sat Jul 16, 2016 10:03 pm

Hi,

I'm having a problem using the built in LaTeX plugin ( Extensions->Render->LaTeX...) as I experienced different font sizes on different documents of mine.

I managed to reproduce the issue and found out that somehow, the size of the resulting LaTeX string scales with the page size. The smaller the page, the smaller the resulting string.

I made a little recording showing the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hsR4p9dSKQ

Am I missing something? Like not disabling a switch that scales the string with the page size or something similar? Or could this be a bug?

I'm using version 0.91.

Thanks in advance.

Edit:
Workaround for now:
Make those LaTeX strings on a reserved document in A4, scaling them down (as they are bigger than the font size says) and then copying them over to other documents.

Hi DarenK,

you've posted your (good!) bug report in the Inkscape forum, instead of the Inkscape bug tracker. Would you please look through the list of known bugs at https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape , and if your problem hasn't been reported yet, open a new report? Please also include your operating system (name and version) and Inkscape version.
