nanogui: Thread: Resize Built-in Fonts

Hi All,
 
I am struggling with the built-in Fonts. I want to have a size that is twice
the "normal" size. Should not be that difficult. But i see that there is no
function defined for setting the size of a built-in font in the
fontprocs-structure (genfont.c).
Before i am starting to hack things i just want to know if i am correct and
if a workaround already exists.
 
Thanks,
Petro

The builtin fonts are a simple mechanism that do not currently
have any mechanism for multiple sizing.  If you're looking for
a double size font, the easiest method is to create externally
a larger font, and add it additionally to the builtin font list.
Otherwise, there's a number of complications regarding
exactly how to scale the height and width of each character
to produce a readable, non-blocky-looking, font.  And
that's just what truetype and the freetype library does.
