The problem with object graphics, as you are learning, is
that you have to do *everything* yourself. (What!? You said
you wanted power, right?) I would try setting the
RECOMPUTE_DIMENSIONS keyword on all of your text objects
to a different value (I'd try 1 first, then 2 if this
doesn't work). And there was a problem with this kind
of scaling that was fixed in IDL 6.1. What version of
IDL are you using?

Cheers,

David
