- Set the scale in the same frame before calling [[natives.displayTextWithLiteralString]] or other text draw functions
- Recommended starting value is 0.20 for visibility; medium sizes are typically 0.20–0.40
- Larger sizes: 0.50–0.80 (large), >0.80 (extra-large). The engine accepts values above 1.0
- X and Y are independent: you can stretch or compress text by using different scales
