Text enlargement (font scaling)

[mesmariusz]

Guys, how can I increase the height of the text? When I add text, I can’t see any option to scale it separately in X or Y.

You can't directly as far as I know, but if you rasterize the layer (right click on the text layer) you can resize it like any other selection.
You loose the ability to edit the text of course, so might be best to duplicate the layer first.

A new nightly build (just pushed) now provides horizontal and vertical scaling in the advanced text tool. Look for it here:
