Using the template node I can change the font size of a group without any problem. However, if I make the font bigger than about 36px for the text input font, the text is chopped off after a value is entered. Here is what it looks like for 48px:

I tried adding height and line-height to the template but without success. Any suggestions?

Thanks,  
Tom

This seems to work for me, combined with making the text input widget a fixed size (I used 7 x 3)

```auto
<style>
    md-card.nr-dashboard-textinput input {
        font-size: 48px;
        height: 100px;  
    }
</style>

```
