Improve zoom font handling

I like that there is a zoom feature in the latest release, however, I don’t like how it was done.  Zooming in causes fonts to get really funky. I’m sure there are major reasons for this since LabVIEW IDE is not based on vector graphics.  I would just like to see better font handling for fonts.

Can you please provide some screenshots to illustrate what "really funky" means? Also, what OS are you using?

Most fonts seem to scale just fine.

 

Icon text gets funky, almost by design.

I don't think that's an easy fix.

The problem is that the font size is not perfectly proportional to the zoom level, I guess because the difference between 2 consecutive zoom levels is often smaller than available font size increments.
