I see what you mean, but I think you're in a bit of a no-win situation. If you increase things proportionally then you might encounter the problems you describe. If you do it additively the font proportions get screwed up an the page looks wrong. I think what you really want is a threshold on how small text can be (eg, anything smaller than 4mm should be rendered at 4mm). I think that would make much more sense. > even if increase is proportional, this is highly troublesome. > i erred in not pointing that out preemptively. > > one fix might be additive, not multiplicative scaling. if you double > 1mm and 10mm, > then you should get 2mm and 11mm instead of 2mm and 80mm. > > this is what i was referring to. the comment about small fonts > sometimes not increasing at all is true sometimes, > but not most of the time and was a red herring > causing you to "notreproducible". Well that really is a bug.
