> Hi, Unidata,
>
> One persistant issue that I have found throughout IDV can be found in the
> contouring programs font system. There seems to be a problem with the
> fount size when changed. For instance, plotting a contour of 1000-500
> thickness and including horizontally oriented lables, I try to increase
> their size to a larger font so they are visible. I found some of these
> font sizes too large, but when I try to decrease this they do not change
> back, rather they constantly increase. When I try to change the font
> size to alleviate this, the font size increases further. Is this a bug
> in IDV or a problem with something I am using? Otherwise the only way
> I have found to fix this was through reloading the dataset.
