I take it you mean a resize from within the embird prog, at the point
of actually doing the text, not to resize an already finished design.
in embird
change the size check keep ratio tab so you change the height and
width evenly
THEN CLICK LAYOUT ZOOM IN that will give you a preview of each letter
and position as well as changing the base line to a curve, wave etc
move each letter by dragging the red box along the line until you
have it spaced correctly.
this needs to be done every time you do lettering each font is
different even different letters in the same font will need to have
spacing changed
