I do not like merging hacks, I want to find solutions. This is only
a problem when using the system over drawterm from a mac.
I am not interested in merging this as is.

No, I don't want rio having code for scaling.

I don't want to merge "a start" just because it exists, let's us figure
the correct solution to the problem. If all this discussion is going to be
is you hamfisting this despite all these problems for it just being "well
it kinda works not really but its a start" then we're going nowhere.

I find scaling based on the font a bit silly. Maybe some $scale or
something would make more sense to me, and be more general to every
program. I do not like this solution though, I am rejecting this patch.
