Brian, (and Eric and others) Thanks very much for the test examples. This is just what I needed. These should all be fixed for 11.5.6.
In addition, I have added one more feature. You can set a font scale reference two ways now -- either by indicating the number of Angstroms per pixel (a number < 5) or a zoom setting (a number >= 5). This should be convenient for users who just want to set the font size.

What you have found is a bug in 11.4, actually. That's fixed now. >Case 4: > > load > "http://submission.iucr.org/jtkt/servecif/z/9zpJOELMOAZw2mzo/zz0000/_zz0000fig0_enhanced.cif";; > set fontScaling TRUE; > font labels 20 serif bold;label %a > zoom 200; > font labels 24 serif bold;label %a > zoom 200; > >With Jmol 11.5.4: When the second font command is issued, the labels >appear small (they are 24 pixels at the initial zoom setting); the >second "zoom" command doesn't affect them - they still look small. >On the other hand, "zoom 201;" causes them to jump to the expected size. > > >These don't necessarily reflect major bugs, but they do require >workarounds either from the program or the user. > >Hope these observations are of some use. > >Best wishes >Brian > >------------------------------------------------------------------------- >This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft >Defy all challenges.
