Good to hear :-) You should've reported this earlier--I did not know this was an issue until I tried Ubuntu 12.04 beta :-)

Well, I did some thinking about this and here's what I've come up with so far:

Since iemgui objects are customized as "gui" objects, they should be treated separately from the rest of the font matters since they are indeed treated as such when it comes to editing/integrating them into a gui. This is particularly true for tight GOP objects that would go entirely out of whack unless we implement a truly global zoom rather than just a font change. So, this would be an argument for not touching them. On the other hand, this is not entirely true as they do pull current font size at creation time but do not react to latter changes (so this is definitely argument in favor of what you are proposing). So, I am a bit torn on them for the time being as changing them would mess everything else up (e.g. aforesaid GOP objects), but on the other hand there is a precedent for them being adjustable. For this reason, I am simply imagining that at some point down the road the font sizing will be replaced by a genuine zoom (which I already implemented from a visual perspective except that I did not account for the object location changes that then mess everything up inside the editor).

Good idea.
