Thanks for your explanation.
As far as I have understood the initial bug report, gschem refuses to
scale the font at all, when the desired fonts are not available. Can we
understand this? Zooming should use cairo's scale, which should work
always. Or is Peter C. using a own font size for each zoom level -- to
optimize quality? That would makes things really difficult. For my peted
clown I have used simple scale operation, looks good and is very easy. I
guess Peter C. has requested a special font with a special size, but
forget to check which exact font extent he got -- that would explain at
least the problem when selecting text.
