This is a follow up from a previous question, where I received a useful answer.

The solution worked for me initially, but now it seems to stop working when the text size is too small?

You can see the small text in the middle is not scaled correct. Am I using transform canvas incorrectly?

  • Please make your code compilable (if possible), or at least complete it with \documentclass{...}, the required \usepackage's, \begin{document}, and \end{document}. That may seem tedious to you, but think of the extra work it represents for the users willing to give you a hand. Help them help you: remove that one hurdle between you and a solution to your problem. Commented Dec 8, 2024 at 20:52
  • Can't reproduce the problem. Do you use a scaleable font like in my answer? Commented Dec 8, 2024 at 20:54
  • it makes no sense to enter the lengths to spurious accuracy such as 0.5558823529in that is equal to 0.5559in TeX uses fixed point arithmetic with at most 5dp pt accuracy Commented Dec 8, 2024 at 20:55
  • @DavidCarlisle Ups! What a badly placed typo. Commented Dec 8, 2024 at 20:56
  • I edited it so my code is compliable, sorry about that. Commented Dec 8, 2024 at 21:07

If you want to use arbitrary font sizes, you need a scaleable font, e.g. by loading the lmodern package:

    @ClydeKertzer You see why it is so essential to always include a compilable example in your questions? People need to be able to see if you are missing a package. Commented Dec 8, 2024 at 21:13
  • Yes, it's quite useful. I'll be sure to have the appropriate format in future questions. Commented Dec 8, 2024 at 21:59

    @ClydeKertzer also it shows not to ignore warnings. Latex will have warned the font was not available at the requested size Commented Dec 8, 2024 at 22:00
  • Ah yeah thanks for pointing that out! Commented Dec 9, 2024 at 2:13
