Description Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2004-10-06 13:09:51 UTC 
I have a canvas with rect items and text items. The text-size is specified as
"size-points", 10.0, "size-set", TRUE

Using gnome_canvas_set_pixels_per_unit() to zoom the draing affects the
rectangles, but not the text.
Comment 1 Sven Herzberg 2004-10-19 23:35:21 UTC 
This is not a bug, but a missing feature, introducing zooming text might break a
lot of applications, if you want to have zooming text I recommend to use the
canvas helpers from beast/bse.
Comment 2 Stefan Sauer (gstreamer, gtkdoc dev) 2004-10-21 07:11:02 UTC 
Please add a note to the API docs then, so that developers not spend useless
hour trying to figure why the text remains unzoomed.

Still I belive that all items should zoom and those app that would break then
need to be fixed ;-). Anyway thanks for the pointer - I will look into the
beast/bse code.

        * docs/reference/tmpl/gnome-canvas-text.sgml,
        * libgnomecanvas/gnome-canvas-text.c: added some documentation about
        the fact that GnomeCanvasText doesn't zoom. Closes bug #154679
