Sorry I wasn't specific enough. Yes, pen strokes. The reason is that
with a pressure sensitive stylus, handwritten text  is nicer and more
readable.

but sometimes I would like to change the thickness of the text after I
have written it without rescaling it.

Maybe what we need is an option that defaults to set width. If not
set, rescales width.

I guess the problem is that strokes do not record the maximum width
text was written with them. The only feasible way is
to scan the text, find the maximum width, and rescale accordingly:
newWidth = oldWidth * currentWidth/ maxWidth. That would
work for me.
