[Qt-interest] QFont setPointSize and setPixelSize scaling

Hello all,

I would like to use QPainter::drawText() to draw some text. I am going to 
scale some of the objects I draw on the widget and want to scale the text 
appropriately. I get the impression from reading the docs that 
QFont::setPointSize() doesn't scale linearly across the whole range of 
point sizes. Is this correct? Does it depend on the font? What about 
QFont::setPixelSize(), does it scale exactly linearly across the entire 
range of pixel sizes? Thanks!

Josh
