Also font changes happen in all pages in the application Find below tiapp.xml details: dp true false false false true 8.2.1.GA 10.0.16299.0 10.0.14393.0 Can you please provide the reason for smaller font and how to fix

    [~shishir.roy] Could you provide sample program that reproduce the issue? Could you also provide more environmental information (output from ti info -o json) which would be so appreciated. Did the font become smaller when you run it under older versions such as Titanium 7.5.2.GA and 8.0.0.GA?

    I found that font size becomes smaller when you specify unit specifier such as dp explicitly for fontSize property. I think this is a parity issue...Label should ignore unit specifier in order to keep consistency between iOS. Created TIMOB-27640 to track this. For a workaround you might want to remove unit specifier from fontSize. 
       var win = Ti.UI.createWindow({
       backgroundColor: 'green',
       layout: 'vertical',
       title: 'Label Demo'
   });
   
   var label1 = Ti.UI.createLabel({
       color: '#900',
       font: { fontSize: '48dp' },
       text: 'A simple label',
       top: 30,
       width: Ti.UI.SIZE, height: Ti.UI.SIZE
   });
   
   var label2 = Ti.UI.createLabel({
       color: '#900',
       font: { fontSize: 48 },
       text: 'A simple label',
       width: Ti.UI.SIZE, height: Ti.UI.SIZE
   });
   
   win.add(label1);
   win.add(label2);
   win.open();

    Is it fixed in any version of SDK. Because it is very difficult to change every place in the code. So please provide some appropriate solution.

    I already made a fix PR for TIMOB-27640. It is in review now and it is scheduled to be merged in next release (9.0.0).

    But you have any release 9 with GA? I have not seen in download section. If not can you please provide the estimated date of release 9 with GA

    I actually don't know much about the official release date...I would suggest consulting with sales or support guys
