WinCC Pro V11 TIA Portal - Change in Font size for one object reduces font size for others

How can I change the font size on a Mainobject, like a meter text,to 12pt. and have it not affect the font size of all the copies i made from the Main.
Have used a meter from the graphic library and gotten it to look the way I want. Then i copy and paste it 4more times. Then I reduce those 4 so they are smaller than the original, Main meter. Now, when I try to reduce the font size of the Main meter, the font size on all the copies are reduced as well. Another issue is that if I want to have the Main meter font at 12pt, it goes to 8pt instead, sometimes, it goes to 6pt. There does not seem to be a reason why it goes to a certain size.
