How to change font and font size in Print module under Photo Info

[LionheartPix]

LrC 13.2 on my MAC running 13.6.4

When printing from LrC there is a box called Photo Info where the user can input various identifiers including custom text. I often use this feature to title pictures. My problem is changing the size of the font, and even the font itself.

Is there a way to have a font size >16 and is there a way to change the font itself? Also, the photo info input does not seem to accept images, replacing any imported image into a check mark. It also seem impossible to add custom characters into the photo info space, eg "ê."

Am I missing something regarding how to achieve these things? Appreciate any guidance or info and TIA.

There is a similar bug with the Book module -- you can't use the standard Mac method for entering Unicode characters:

Please add a description of your issue with the Print module to that bug report, and be sure to add your upvote in the upper-left corner.

As a workaround, enter the text into the Textedit app and then copy and paste into the Custom Text field in the Print module.

I don't think so. It's weird that the maximum size is 16.

Thanks, I'll try Textedit. and I posted there and upvoted

The font sizing is set in terms of points - 1 point being 1/72 inch - so actual print scaling is used based on the page setup. If you are (say) exporting to JPG for someone else to print, you can game this to your advantage.

As an example, if you consider an A4 page layout with a certain point size for the text and a certain output resolution - but change the page layout to A6 instead (half as wide and half as high as A4) while doubling the output resolution to compensate - the same JPG output dimensions can effectively be produced with the same photos shown in a same-looking grid.

But for a given font size as expressed in points, any text will show up proportionately larger within a page layout, when that has smaller scaling. In that A4 > A6 example, text would have doubled its apparent size.
