I tried adding some code to Read Etexts to check for the SUGAR_SCALING environment variable and ran it on sugar-emulator on Fedora 10 and also on my XO running .82.  Neither one had the environment variable.  I didn't try with SoaS.  So that explains why style.zoom() had no effect.  I'll probably just get rid of it in the next version of the Activity. The current version of Read Etexts is usable on the XO running .82, XO running .84, and sugar-emulator on Fedora 10, even though the font size is different on all three.  The View tab allows the user to adjust the font size to his liking, so it is tolerable to have the font start up at three different sizes on the three platforms.  For most things I do use the default font size, so this isn't a show stopper.  I'm going to "Declare victory and quit." on this one. As for the code Aleksey wrote (linked below), since there is no environment variable for the XO to use in style.zoom() I'm pretty sure his code would have no effect.  Plus style.zoom() already used a default scaling factor of 1.0 if there was no environment variable SUGAR_SCALING so it already should have worked in .82 and .84.  From my experience it didn't seem to hurt working in .84 at all. Thanks for all the help, though.

I didn't wanted to imply that X could be 10, I think we were using a smaller font size in the Sugar UI. Maybe Aleksey could add a zoom() function to sugar.port that on 0.82 would do some scaling based on the screen resolution and on 0.84 would return the value unchanged? </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> done, <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://people.sugarlabs.org/~alsroot/sugar-port/port.style-module.html">http://people.sugarlabs.org/~alsroot/sugar-port/port.style-module.html</a> </pre> </blockquote> </body> </html>
