title: Why wont my text change size?
body: <p>I am using <em>Jaspersoft Studio</em> and am attempting to do what should be one of the simplest tasks, resize a static text element. However no matter what means I think of to try and change the text size it stays the default size.</p>
  
  <p>Here is the .jrxml code I am using for one such static text element</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;staticText&gt;
              &lt;reportElement mode="Opaque" x="0" y="0" width="700" height="40" forecolor="#00B050" uuid="52a12b2e-4819-44b4-8d51-047fd668e28c"&gt;
                  &lt;property name="local_mesure_unitx" value="pixel"/&gt;
                  &lt;property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.x" value="px"/&gt;
                  &lt;property name="local_mesure_unity" value="pixel"/&gt;
                  &lt;property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.y" value="px"/&gt;
                  &lt;property name="local_mesure_unitwidth" value="pixel"/&gt;
                  &lt;property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.width" value="px"/&gt;
                  &lt;property name="local_mesure_unitheight" value="pixel"/&gt;
                  &lt;property name="com.jaspersoft.studio.unit.height" value="px"/&gt;
              &lt;/reportElement&gt;
              &lt;textElement textAlignment="Left"&gt;
                  &lt;font size="18" isBold="true"/&gt;
              &lt;/textElement&gt;
              &lt;text&gt;&lt;![CDATA[Supportive Services]]&gt;&lt;/text&gt;
          &lt;/staticText&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Attached is also an image of where I've set the font size using the editor.

  <p>After making these changes the text is still the default size. Here is an image of the resulting report...

  <p>Does anyone know why this is happening? Is there some sort of global text setting in <em>Jaspersoft Studio</em> or <em>JasperReports</em> in general that I am forgetting?</p>
