Font Size Controls in Custom Strings

Feature description:

I’d like to be able to increase / decrease the font size of portions of custom strings.

Problem solved:

In Special Cases where a custom string is housing two or more bits of information the user may want some of the info larger or more pronounced.

In my case I’m trying to utilize a number of symbols or Unicode characters which tend to take on their own sizing regardless of the set font size & multiplier.

Brought benefits:

Symbols such as these below can be utilized in symfonium but they are often smaller or larger than your given font so being able to “normalize” them a bit could be nice. This could also be utilized for simple text as well which could allow users to make their own sorts of mini stamps / labels within strings.

Recently I tried to have “🆫”

↑Character Description

Character is Text “UHD” within a Box As seen here

appear in front of the Codec for tracks in my library with higher bitrates but the character is so small its illegible, I could of course increase the font size but then my string would quite literally be too large to fit on my display at once (at least not it a single line)

Other application solutions:

 

 

Additional description and context:

 
In the screenshot below I’m using a larger device to test the view of these characters.
My end goal was to have this “UHD” character appear in the string below the progress bar so it would be even smaller than what it is pictured here.

Using regular text “UHD” takes too much space on my S9 display with this string:
(Added spaces to make it easier to read)

%player.position% \t %format% \t %duration%

Might be a bit niche but I had to ask.
I was tinkering & that brought about the idea.

Am I alone on this?

  • Yeah, that’s just you
  • No, I’ve dabbled with Icons / characters
  • I’ve never used special characters but i’d make use of smaller / larger text

I am missing the option “I do use icons, but I don’t have the need to adjust the font size” :wink: That would be my choice.

Lol you fall into the 1st option.

Its just me then😂

I think if I wasnt trying to place it in the label sized string it wouldn’t be an issue but i figured i might as well ask. I’d prefer to place it under the progress bar.

If this gets vetoed ill just have to get creative & figure something else out
