<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I am having a
similar problem on stand alone 2.8.2 on PC with HDMI screen. I
set the screen canvas to 8 inch by 10 inch and made a screen
dump. The result was an image that was 4 by 6 inch instead of
8 x 10. However the text on this image was the same size as on
the screen. The image declared itself to be 96 dots per inch
but my HDMI screen is only 70 DPI. If I enlarge the image to 8
x 10, the text is 133% of screen size text, but the map is at
the correct scale. It seems like QGIS is scaling the text to
96 DPI and the graphics to Screen resolution (70 DPI in this
case).</div>

.8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I am using
QGIS 2.81 under Ubuntu to prepare some maps, and am
experiencing difficulties with text font sizes between the
project window and the print composer. I encounter two
problems:<br>
<br>
1) When I set the font size for a label in the project (e.g.
10 point) the text appears overly small. When I use this
layer in the print composer the font appears oversized. To
have the label appear at an appropriate size in the print
composer I have to reduce the font size in the project
window (e.g. to 7 point). It then appears to have a size of
c. 10 point in the print composer window. This problem,
combined with the fact that positioning a label in the
project window so that it appears correct in the print
composer requires much to and fro between the windows - and
that is just for one label - makes use of labelling
problematic. I have to tweak the position of each label
individually in the project window, and it is largely
guesswork.<br>
<br>
2) If I add a text label (e.g. 10 point) directly in the
print composer window the text is oversized and to obtain c.
10 point I have to set a font size of c. 7 point. This is
less of a problem than problem (1) but nevertheless
perplexing. For my maps I am tending to add all labels using
this method, rather than using labels from the layers,
because of problem (1). For complex maps, however, this
quickly becomes complicated for a variety for reasons.<br>
<br>
I am relatively new to QGIS so perhaps I am missing
something / doing something wrong. Could anybody with more
experience kindly advise how these matters can be resolved?<br>
<br>
With grateful thanks, Martino<br>
