If scale_x is non-zero, it is the width +multiplier on the neutral font width; if scale_y is non-zero, it +is the height multiplier on the normal font height. When any of the +two is zero, it is replaced by scale/100. +

+Thus scale_x=1 and scale_y=1 means symbols are rendered in 1:1 size. +Alternatively scale_x=0 and scale_y=0 and scale=100 means the same. +

+Text has a thickness field; if it is non-zero, it specifies the stroke (line and arc) thickness of symbols (glyphs); if it is zero, the thickness value is calculated from scale.
