Font difference between symbol editor and block schematic

Hi there, I have created a new product and set the font of some text to a smaller size. When I import it into a block schematic, all text has the same size. I have to go to a much smaller size in the symbol editor to see the change in the block schematic, but at that point it is way too small.
As you can see from the picture below, the text on the block on the left, inside the editor, is quite different from the one on the right, in the block schematic. 
Is there any setting I can change to fix this?
Thanks

In the View Menu disable Enhanced Text Mode. 

This is used to standardize IO labels to the value of IO Label Height in the Document Properties Grid but if you have a specific requirement for your symbols you can switch it off. 

Alternatively, you can set that value to whatever your standard is and then all symbols will use that text height for IO labels.

Thanks Rob. That seems to be doing the trick.
Enhanced Text Mode has to be disable before I add a new block, right? I noticed that if I enable it the text changes, if I then turn it back off, the text stays the same. Is that how it works or is it a bug?
