noticed when you switch the font to scratch, the size fits to the size it should have (an had before the update!), but Helvetica is no bigger. Please fix this, because all projects are affected by this bug and have to be edit. In Projects with much Text this could mean hours of work, like in my case

I'm glad that they are adding fonts. Although I wish they made less silly fonts.

Thanks for the report! Can you give us some links to projects that have been messed up? I looked at mine and they look okay.

@Paddle2See:

Take a look at my latest projects (the two 3d demos, the latest pseudorandom cycle one, and the Cloud Ping Test).

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10143939/
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/11397100/
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10577286/
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/11480048/

EDITS: also the lag test project, and the 3d dot map demo (note the “Autorotate” at top-right), and numerous others:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10125047/
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10332431/
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10095002/
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10094319/
And the text box at the bottom of the splash screen for InterXeptor (which is shared by MrLog, not me) - that makes it obvious, ‘cos the text has run way beyond its original bounding ’oval'…
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10085324/

Is that enough to be going on with…?

AFAICT, it's happened to every project that has text in vector mode.

(Checked on both my Macs with different versions of OSX. both Firefox and Safari. Also on my Linux Mint netbook with Firefox.)

Exxample screenshot as it is now (sorry, not got account on anything else to upload image to):

Happened to me too. Is there a way the ST can revert this? Mine have gotten really screwed up. My project had hundreds of text bubbles, and the text is way outside of the box now since the update. Here, Paddle2see, you have 2see (get it ) this project. I didn't want to share it because its not done, but I will for the sake of proof.

I'm on IE10

I sure hope the ST can fix this, because if not there will be thousands, tens if thousands, hundreds of thousands of 2.0 projects that have just got the text sizes messed up. I have my fingers crossed.

Almost all of my Projects, which use vector text have this bug. When the bug appears, the whole project has this bug, so all costumes have too big text.
Examples:

http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10040778/
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10073927/
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/10535756/

The most projects aren't shared, but there the bug appears, too.

Oh, and by the way, could you add Myriad Pro to the fonts? Ive always wanted to see what one of my favorite fonts looked like in vector mode…

This topic is the same as:

This is the 3rd topic about this bug.
Actually, this was the first topic posted. The other ones came after this.

Although yes, it does get kind of annoying having 3+ topics about the same thing.

Sorry, everyone. Someone asked for the font to be a little bigger and I changed the code at the last minute without thinking through all the consequences.

A fix is on it's way. Don't worry, your projects are not permanently messed up; once the new version (v349) is out your text will go back to it's original size.

We hope to get this out soon - we're not going to wait for Thursday.

Okay - version V349 of the project editor has been deployed - if you aren't seeing it, try clearing your cache and refreshing the page.

If you see any further problems with fonts, please let us know here - sorry for the confusion.

Thank you all for your immediate hard work! You should maybe make an announcement, though, just to assure everyone.

Also, on the bad side, on my one project I relocated my text; time to undo that

Oh darn. I readjusted the text size to compensate and then another update came hours later and now all my text is tiny. Compensating. Again….
It wouldn't be as bad if the blocks actually displayed some text.
