I agree >> I would like to know if there is a method to scale the image so that >> it can fit completely the maximized window (eg: by mean of linear / >> bilinear filtering). > > This feature doesn't exist. Agree again, but it would be nice. Perhaps with a fully hardware accelerated GL, compiz or similar would be usable? On the other hand, almost all X applications support the -geometry option, and/or setting the font, so even though it isn't resizable, it may be possible to run it with a larger window initially, and by using a larger font achieve a similar (perhaps better) result.
