Summary	0012261: Restrict glyph extension to senseful values
Description	Glyph extension may be set to 90%...110% as both minimum and maximum value. However, the possible situation of minimum > maximum value doesn't make any sense and leads to an erratic result. Even more, a minimal value (shrinkage) of more than 100% doesn't seem to make sense, neither does a maximum value (actual extension) of less than 100%. So the minimum value should be 90%...100%, whereas the maximum value should be 100%...110%. For some edge cases, people can use width scaling instead. Alternatively, the scaling and glyph extension options could be coupled providing a minimal, normal and maximal value with minimum < normal < maximum. Not sure, though, if UI-wise that would be better.

Pancho 2014-04-23 12:53 reporter ~0031762	Actually that would bring it in line with the Style Manager's behaviour, which already restricts the minimum value to 90%...100% and the maximum value to 100%...110%.
