I have always used the default scaling for gEDA 1.4.3, which means text
on paper is smaller than on screen.

And I think there is a good reason for this: Printers have high
resolution, so small text is still readable. Screen has (currently)
lower resolution, so small text would become unreadable. I use the
defaults, so text size related to symbol graphics looks good in
printout. On screen text looks not so good, sometimes it touches the
graphics. But I can read it good, most times without zooming. To get
nice results I have to set the alignment mark of the text right.

So there may be a benefit for different sizes.
