This is not possible with QTextEdit. At least, not directly. For an 
editor, I'm not sure how useful it would be either. Without thinking 
about it much, three approaches pop into my head:
1) QGraphicsView provides the zoom support you are after. Perhaps you 
can leverage this?
2) Could a QWebView provide what you want, or do you actually need editing?
3) If you don't need editing, perhaps you can render your QTextDocument 
to an image, and then scale and display that?
