At present the apparent size of widget text and widget bounding boxes do not scale together. In an environment with computers having different screen sizes and pixel densities (DPI) gives inconsistent visuals. Text which fits on one computer will be clipped on others.
In some cases this can be "tweaked" by DPI value used in rendering fonts. However, we have only found system wide controls, which causes some other applications to look strange.
In the following examples the same .opi is rendered at 75 DPI.

We would like to request that BOY should ensure that the relative sizes of text and widgets be constant on all systems.
