I'm trying out the useful texttoimage-operator but I'm having trouble setting the font size of the image-output.
This works fine:{$content_version.data_map.somevariable.content|texttoimage('arial')}
..but generates a rather large fontsize-display of the content of my variable. So in lack of documentation I try this (which doesn't work as well):
{$content_version.data_map.somevariable.content|texttoimage('arial',12)}
I'm trying to set the font size of image-output to 12 px here, and have tried doing so in a lot of different ways of syntax.
Anyone know if it's even possible to scale the font size of the texttoimage()-operator?? :)

Have you looked at the settings file 'texttoimage.ini'?
I've not used it personally but that file seems to have a lot of font info.

that's the place to look. I have personal experience with it. Of cource you can set the font size
I would recommend defining all needed definitions. Over the texttoimage.ini and use it like this.{$content_version.data_map.somevariable.content|texttoimage('customstyle')}
The second option didn't work out right for me too.

Thanks guys, I figured it out with your help. Made a new style in texttoimage.ini.

You can also specify the font-size directly:{$content|texttoimage('arial',,2)}
Note: Two commas!, font-size is third argument
