Godot: Ability to change font size in RichTextLabel without requiring separate font resources when using DynamicFont

[Calinou]

Having a [size=(font height in pixels)] tag for changing the font size (when using a DynamicFont) without requiring separate font resources for each size would be very helpful for things like titles.

Perhaps the font height should be settable using a percentage as well, which would then be relative to the default font size of the RichTextLabel.

Update: This issue is still relevant as of https://github.com/godotengine/godot/commit/a1f835df771464e9db6909fd104751ccbbc1b91a.

I want to create a issue for this and then find this discussion. Strongly hoping this feature can be brought to godot early.

I'm working on a prototype and want to create many utility components without dependency outside of godot. And the "size of text" is a big problem for me, I can only change the size of text by tuning the rect_scale property of Control(which is not the way i expect). Supporting this tag for bbcode in godot is meaningful and helping people focus on their prototype.

This is a good idea. I always thought having the extra font resources for each size was normal. But this seems like the correct way to do it

This still isn't supported. Is bbcode only partially supported or are there plans to fully support it?

[Calinou]

@Skullfurious BBCode isn't a formal standard, so there is no "full" or "partial" support to speak of :slightly_smiling_face:

Not what you want to hear (me neither) but there's this PR https://github.com/godotengine/godot/pull/29762 that already does this that can be useful @Skullfurious
