Android Question Very big fonts (labels)

[Quark]

Hi, I am new to the Android world but not new to programming. And I am still hesitating between using
Android Studio or purchasing a B4A license.

On my first application I need to display numbers that can be seen from a long distance (say 10 meters).
The characters height must be a large fraction of the height in horizontal orientation.
Apparently this not is possible with B4A or is very complicated (for me). There seems to be a limit of 100pt. Is there a good reason for this limit ?

It seems even more complicated if you want to resize the fonts to adjust to screen height.

By the way I find that Android programming is very complicated. I started using Visual Basic at a time
where computers were much less powerful than recent smartphones (among other things screen resolution
did not even match that of the cheapest smartphones). Programming in VB (or even in Delphi) was very
easy and in addition you could do almost anything with little limitations (like font sizes...).

Is there a good reason for this limit ?

No. It will be removed in the next update. Note that it is only in the designer properties grid.

You can set the font size to any value you like in your code or in the designer script.

This is good news. However this limit is no longer a problem as you said below.

Note that it is only in the designer properties grid.

OK, I expected wrongly that this limit was the same everywhere as this seemed logical (to me at least).

Thank you very much for your fast response.
