This comes just right in time! I have just added a couple of accessibility options and the scaling bugs me so much.

How would this work with Line Spacing Scaling in Shift+A (assuming that Font Size Scaling is unchanged but the Spacing is changed? Or what would happen if I replace the OG Font Size Scaling slider with this one, then use the Line Spacing slider? Would I have to disable that and let this plugin handle it instead?

I would have to test this out myself, but this plugin only messes with the horizontal width of the textbox and therefore should not interfere with vertical spacing. So I’ll go ahead and assume it’s compatible with the Line Spacing slider.

Please do report back if that’s wrong, though!

One more thing along this question, since it’s been crossing my mind as well. Do you think it’s possible to add automatic textbox height scaling as well, so when the font size gets bigger, the textbox itself expands vertically to accommodate it? I believe it may cause your textbox background to be stretched depending on how your frame is constructed, but I feel like that’s a good enough tradeoff.

The current code only accounts for the text itself, not the window around it, but I can definitely see the value in that use case!

I just added this functionality as a donation goal. If there’s enough support, I’ll make this happen!

Thank you very much, I think that is fair!
