Size of text in %

Hi,

I'm wondering how I can determine the size of text to make sure the item will not overlap with other elements and the relative size and position of stimuli on the screen remain the same across different monitors.

I have set defaults to: 
/ canvassize=(100%, 100%)
/ canvasaspectratio=(16, 9)

For example:
<text mytext>
/ items = myitems
/ size = (100%, 10%)
/ position = (50%, 35%)
</text>

<likert mylikert>
/ stimulusframes = [1=mytext]
/ numpoints = 4
/ anchors = [1="Never", 2="Rarely", 3="Sometimes", 4="Always"]
/ inputdevice = keyboard
</likert>

Thank you!

Define a suitable /position in the <likert> element.
