Strangest thing, if I do a FitTextBox(0,0, 0.0, 5.0, 0.18, 'Some Text', 0) and my font size is 10, I get really really tiny text.

(actually any box height less than 0.195 or so makes this happen)

It's like QuickPDF can't shrink text down lower than pico-sized.

If I make the font size bigger or smaller it scales properly.

Here's my work around for now:

        if (FontInfo.FontSize = 10) and
            (Height < 0.2) then
          Height := 0.2;

But I figured I should tell someone.

(using Delphi XE2, QuickPDF 8.1.4 [not the Update 4 version])

*Edited because I thought this was only for Arial, but it's happened on other fonts*
