Description Eyal Rozenberg 2024-10-04 08:57:28 UTC
LibreOffice has a command for increasing all font sizes by some limited amount. While being DF rather than proper styling, it is quite useful when working with multiple objects having different font sizes.

When inside a Chart object, one often finds one's self in need of increasing or decreasing the font size... of everything. Yet, it is not possible to do this AFAICT.

Workaround to make all font size larger: Enable icon "Scale Text". Drag the chart larger. Disable icon "Scale Text". Drag chart to previous size.

Useful workaround, thanks!

(But of course, we should allow users to do this with a single command / toolbar interaction.)

Would expect this to be implemented with the chart style, see bug 62925.

I'm not following what specifically you think will happen along with the implementation of chart styles which will address this. This enhancement request regards the introduction of commands to apply direct formatting, irrespective of styles. I don't believe that resolving bug 62925 would do that.

I suppose, implementation-wise, and remembering that DF is sometimes(? often? always?) implement as an ad-hoc locally-applied style, perhaps the implementation of chart styles would make this easier to implement. I would still not like for this to wait until chart styles are in though :-(
