topic Object size - Sheet vs Report object size and Printed font size not correct in QlikView https://community.qlik.com/t5/QlikView/Object-size-Sheet-vs-Report-object-size-and-Printed-font-size/m-p/270555#M101473 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Hi everyone,</P><P></P><P>I would appreciate any assistance wrt the following problems with the Qliview report creation tool.

The following problems occur:</P><P>1.

In either case the object font size does not agree to the original used on the sheet i.e. the sheet object uses Arial size 8 font.
