Default values used in Footprint creation are now user definable in ModEdit.
You have to define them in Modedit, Preferences/Settings
(size, layers ...)
DEFAULT_TEXT_MODULE_SIZE is the default value for a fresh Kicad install
(i.e. without any existing config file) and then replaced by your
personal settings.
