Hi Groovy, tobago did not support client side font changes. The layout calculation is done on the server in px. The themes font size is defined in the themes, and the font scaling on client is not known on the server side.
I could imagine a rows attribute on tc:textarea to give the layoutManager a hint how many rows a fixed layout token should calculate. The default fixed for textarea is afaik not defined and so is the themes default fixed (20px in speyside theme) used. If you need such a hint feel free to create a feature request in jira.
