[Qgis-user] [QGIS-UX] QGIS fonts in print composer

[Sarah Van Vliet]

Hi Donovan, 

Thanks so much for looking into this. 

The problem is that certain weights and widths are not available at a given font size. So at font size 14 you might be able to use wide book but not news. 
If a text box is in a certain size and width/weight, and you change the font size, it will default into a different width/weight if the current one doesn't work with the new font size.

The strange part is that all my colleagues and I are seeing different width/weight/font size availability. 

If you try using clan pro news in all font sizes and it doesn't change weight/width, I may just need to update my qgis version
