It would be incredibly useful if there were two switches that were similar to the "stroke width" and "rounded corner" scaling buttons:
when scaling objects, scale the text by the same proportion - if this were not selected, then the font size would stay fixed as the object was scaled. It doesn't have to work very well - if the text placement gets off, that is okay with me.
when scaling objects, keep text aspect ratio fixed - if this were enabled, fonts would not become "distorted" when objects are resized. They would change size, but still look good.
Both of these would be incredibly useful for me, since I use inkscape to make technical slides. I never want the aspect ratio of my fonts to change. Often I want to resize a group of objects slightly, but don't want to change the font size.
Design
this sould be setting inside selector tool
Migrator's Notes:
- I just couldn't wrap my pointy head around why someone would request such a thing...what would it serve?...until Rich posted this...
- After that SVG was posted, an avalanche of me toos appeared up until 2020-04-18(!). This feature would obviously relieve a lot of headaches for diagram designers.
- Implementation? Hey, I just migrate 'em.
