when I set font size = 6, the design time label or dbtext is very small, is there any method which I can enlarge it in design time so the developer can write more easily but at run time the report font is still 6??
Unfortunately there is currently no zooming feature for the designer in ReportBuilder. Though this would be a massive design change, it is on our wish list to research and possibly add for a later release of ReportBuilder. As a workaround, you could set each text component's font to something readable and before the report generates, perform an object loop shrinking the components necessary.
I've done a lot of reports with very small fonts. What helps is (1) use a large screen but keep the resolution down; and (2) use the window's Magninfier (Programs/Accessories /Accessibility /Magnifier).
