Sizing is Confusing

Viewed 17

I would like Marked to become part of my workflow. But I'm really mystified by how the font size works. All of the default styles export with massive text—unusably large. I can do the font overide, but only down to 9 pt and it's still way too large. It appears to be around 18 pt font for body text and this is at the smallest size that override will allow. Surely no one is actually making documents like this in the real world?

I've reduced my style sheet down to 22% for body font. Without overriding the base font size it's around pt 4 and yet when I use font override in Marked for 9pt it's now going somewhere around pg 12.

In short, I find it most difficult to render documents right around the size I actually need them at 8-12 pt.

I just find the whole process really odd, particularly for an app that is intended to make PDF rendering easier. It's been rather an ordeal trying to get anything usable!

I do have hope for the app because the developer is amazing. So maybe we will get there some day but I don't think it's usable just yet. I'm glad for pushback or glad to be taught!

Let me know how the 3.1.14 release works for you. Had to switch from pt to px sizes, but I think it's offering more predictable results with the font size override now.
