It "might" due to some Pango / cairo build configuration. There are a
number of different ways to build pango / cairo. Some will be using
native OS X APIs for fonts, others might use freetype and fontconfig.
I'm not sure what the easy recipe to a working config is.

As Peter B mentioned, the Win32 font scaling bug (now resolved) was due
to a "," as the locale decimal separator. You could try starting gEDA
with "LC_ALL=C gschem", "LANG=C gschem" or something like that, but I'm
not sure whether this is the bug you're seeing.

Does the text scale correctly with the page?

Please try 1.6.1, as it is just possible that the changes to fix the
Win32 bug (which also, for robustness changed away from using a
description string to set the font size), will fix the issue.
