[Sugar-devel] More information on font scaling problem

[James Simmons]

Tomeu,

I think I figured this out by looking at the code for 
sugar.graphics.style.  It looks like my Sugar test environment needs to 
have an environment variable SUGAR_SCALING defined and it needs to be 
given a numeric value.  If I *don't* have such a variable then the 
measurements are suited for an XO.  If I *do* have one than the numeric 
value assigned to SUGAR_SCALING is multiplied by my specified font size 
to get a larger font that looks good on sugar-emulator.

I'm guessing that Fedora 10 does not provide this environment 
variable.   So the question is, what value would I specify for this 
environment variable if I specified it?

Now on SoaS,  which should be .84, I'm seeing the same font issue I had 
with sugar-emulator in Fedora 10.  Not only my app has a font which is 
much too small, but Develop has a *really* small font for displaying 
code, whereas the fonts in the rest of the app (where they likely used 
the default) look fine.  I'm not using the very latest SoaS but the one 
I have is only a few weeks old.
