FWIW, this is the "font-sizing code" I ended up using in my three activities
(OurMusic, SunMoonMusic and FileMix). It is contained near the beginning of the
csndsugui.py module.
It contains an option for the user to resize text in the given activity for the
particular monitor, and sizes for OLPC (XO-1/XO-1.5), SoaS 0.84 and up. Thank
goodness, from Mirabelle upward, SoaS seems not to be changing font size.
All multiplication factors were determined empirically - by filling a screen
width with text (the starting point was the OLPC display), then seeing what
modifications were necessary for the various incarnations of SoaS.
The code works well for all versions of Sugar I've tried, as well as monitors.
def scale_font(self, widget):
font = widget.get_pango_context().get_font_description()
# The FONT DISPLAY in this activity can be resized (smaller or larger)
# by changing the value of "resize" below. "Resize" can be positive
# or negative, and is not limited to integers. A value of 1 equals a
# point in font size.
resize = 0
font_size = font.get_size() + (resize * 1024)
width = gtk.gdk.screen_width()
mult = width * .00076
if os.path.exists("/etc/olpc-release") or
os.path.exists("/etc/power/olpc-pm"):
mult = width * .00082
elif os.path.exists("/etc/fedora-release"):
release = open("/etc/fedora-release").read()
if release.find("SoaS release 1 ") != -1:
mult = width * .00132
elif release.find("SoaS release 2 ") != -1:
mult = width * .00085
elif release.find("Fedora release ") != -1:
mult = width * .00119
font.set_size(int(font_size * mult))
widget.modify_font(font)

I understand your comments, but I think we need to prioritize the simple use
of the more useful features.
A spinbutton is not IMHO a good interface to change the zoom level, but I am
not sure, that's the reason
why I asked to the UI team. Another option is add a button to set the zoom at
Page width, or Page height,
but probably another hacker will complain about too much controls...

Is that discoverable? What are the increments (step size)? How fast is
it?
It usually takes me only very few tries to choose the correct zoom level
by entering a number (good first guess + something similar to binary
search). If I can only single-step (in addition to the few fixed zoom
levels), it'll either be a bad match (too large increment) or take a lot
of key presses / time (fine increment => many steps).
