Text edition
Posted: Fri Dec 17, 2021 4:21 pmFor Resolve developpers:
Text editor in the edit page or in Fusion ca be improved a lot.
The window inside which we edit the text is very very small.
I think that it could almost be a section of it's own. Like a word-like addon much bigger, like something we can open on the UI.
Maybe I'm biased because ma first job is typesetting.
Typography is not just nice fonts and a utility thing to explains informations. Text is how we present the foundation of the language. Like the visual grammar in cinema, we have engrained inside our DNA the way text represent thoughts, and we think with words. That's typography. The space between lines, letters, the contrast ratio between lines of blocks of lines make the text more clear. It's not a "everybody can do it" just because everybody now have a computer with Word installed on it.
So having a wide array of text tools seems pretty important to me.
