Description
**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**
Text shapes can only use integer values of pixels for text sizes. This makes fine-tuning text sizes impossible.
**Describe the solution you'd like**
Enable text shapes to use fractional font sizes.
**Describe alternatives you've considered**
Sometimes this can be worked around by using a larger size for tiles, but depending on the application this isn't always possible.

Research direction
Start by locating the text-shape font-size handling in the Tiled repository and trace how the current integer pixel value is represented and edited. Define done as text shapes accepting and displaying fractional font sizes without losing the value; check for related tests or add coverage if the project’s existing test structure supports it.
