I propose we alter the default document to be viewed at a 100% scale so that all tools visually balance the way they would on the output media.
Would an alternative be to increase the default font size? I picture the most common use of text to be large text for posters etc.
This would be most useful with some cleverness added to the behavior of resizing text (and grouped objects containing text):
When I resize drawing elements because I didn't start off with the right canvas size, the resulting high-decimal point size of the fonts (e.g. 50.582pt) becomes a detail that I want to fix (perhaps irrationally).
I would appreciate an optional 'grid' of increments thought the font size space, so if I was looking to monitor my resizing to 'snap' to an integer or specific decimal font dimension, I could do it. This should probably be a keypress-driven mode, and act like a grid snap during the resizing maneuver.
The example would be if you have a draft graphical logo containing primary text elements, and you are asked to 'resize the logo to 60pt font', meaning resize everything so that the text in that graphical logo is 60pt.
