As far as I know font-scaling while drawing text is no longer supported by
grx20. The only way is to get bigger characters I know it works is loading 
another font. Somewhere in the docs or headers I found a function which 
seems to support generating a enlarged font as a new one (I don't remember 
if it does it from an loaded one or while loading from disk/vga).

Sorry, I can't get you more accurate information, as I've not used it yet.
