Setting Font size in label dialog not working

[Robert Leach]

I'm sure this has to do with the making of the font size dynamic, so I guess we need to decide whether to even allow the font size to be changed. Perhaps change it to a minimum font size setting?

Use case: Select View->Labels..., Change font size from 9 to 12, click OK. Expected Result: Font size gets larger. Observed result: Font size remains at 9.

There is plenty of room for a larger font in the view I was looking at when I attempted this:

Yes, I already commented on this in #175.

After our discussion, the behavior of label sizes should be the following: by default, the labels should take as much space as available (depending on the size of the tile). In Label settings, there should be a checkbox ("Keep fixed") that would allow the user to specify a certain label size and make it insensitive to zoom level.

[Anastasia Baryshnikova]

The general consensus was also that the current labels are too small, with respect to the available space. We should try to make them at least ~50% bigger.

Changing this to resolved as the function to set a fixed label size has been implemented. Let me know if the dynamic resizing still gets the sizes wrong.

Reopening this because noticed a few issues while testing:

1) The value set when checking "Keep fixed" works only until you zoom out enough to hide the labels. When you zoom back in, the label size is restored to the default 14 (although, the "keep fixed" setting keeps working).

2) When defined dynamically, the font size could still be much bigger than it is now. I'm attaching 2 screenshots taken at exactly the same zoom level: one is with dynamic font sizing, the other one with manual to show how big the labels can be at this tile size.

Solved aforementioned issues and added the ability to specify min/ max ranges for label sizes.

Merged to master.
