As recently discussed here, I tried using the labelr tool to convert
autolabels to a separate text layer.
 
Problem :
 
I set the view in the map window at 1:24 000 and autolabel a point layer w/
font size = 8 pt.
 
Scenario A.    If Labelr is then run only labels within the map window are
transferred to the Cosmetic Layer.  
 
Scenario B.    If Labelr is run so that the entire layer can be viewed, the
transferred font size is a huge 50 pt.  With the labels still in the
Cosmetic Layer, one can the zoom back to 1:24K and change the font size to 8
pt, but then the label position is inaccurate.  All other attempts to
achieve the desired label size, such as changing attributes after the labels
have been saved to a new layer, achieve similar undesireable results.
 
How can I create a text layer of labels that are positioned correctly and
with specific font attributes?  Am I missing something here?
 
Thanks, Drew
