Wrong font size when adding text to image

[KrisR]

I want to add text to some of my pictures that have been scanned with high resolution, typically 15-20 megapixels, but the text becomes so tiny that it is nearly invisible. I need to zoom in by e.g. a factor of 10 in order to see it.

The problem, it seems, is that the text font is set in a fixed number of pixels, and not relative to the size of the image.
This has the unfortunate consequence that even if I increase the font size to 72, the letters will appear no larger than about 5mm if I print the picture on 15x10cm photo paper. So I have no way of inserting large character text on a high resolution image.
If I resize the picture to e.g. 1 megapixel, the text appears much larger.

I think this is an unfortunate situation for XnView, and I hope not intended.
I therefore request that font size should be displayed relative to the displayed size of an image, independent of the number of pixels in the image.

Right it's not good...

Thanks for your support. I am looking forward to the next version, or perhaps MP
