Did you have a chance to try my Activity now that it has a font
problem? Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Also, is there some way I could tell if my Activity was running on an
XO and adjust the font size accordingly?<br>

<pre wrap="">This weekend I attempted to resolve a bug report on Read Etexts where
there was some strange behavior with font resizing. When I investigated
I remembered how this bug came to be.
It seems that if you DON'T explicitly set a font in your Sugar Activity
it will look identical in sugar-emulator and on an XO. Unfortunately if
you *do* set a font what looks like a reasonable sized font in the
development environment will be a MUCH LARGER font on the XO. My goal
with Read Etexts was to give a text view with the default font and allow
the users to make it larger or smaller, just like Read has the Zoom In
and Zoom Out feature. Now there does not seem to be a way to find out
what font a text viewer is currently using. All you can do, from what I
have seen, is to set it to a font and then change the font you have
set. I wanted to set it to "sans 12". Looks good in sugar-emulator,
ridiculously large on the XO.

Hmm, setting a fixed font size of 10 should give you the same font
size as used anywhere in the UI.

code from one of Tomeu's postings:
from sugar.graphics import style
pango.FontDescription("sans %d" % style.zoom(72))

We don't need to scale ourselves any more because Pango is already
doing it for us.
In the last soas image I have (almost one month old), the XO has a
very small font size, not sure why but I will try a more recent one.
