I’ve got a flex layout with some labels on it. I’ve got the grow/shrink and everything where I want but I cannot figure out how to get the font size to scale. I tried doing percentage in the font size property, 1em, etc but nothing appears to scale the font. My background colors are scaling like they should on the labels.

Reason I’m trying to get the scaling to work is I’ve got the same template used on large screen TVs and on end users desktops. I’d like to make use of 1 template so I can edit in one place and be done. Is this currently possible or no?

This template consists of a few dynamic text boxes, and an LED display. The templates shrink/grow as desired to fit the entire browser window when the coordinate view is resized, but when the view is sized too small or opened from a mobile device the text wraps and expands beyond the extents of its text box (except for the LED display, which …
