Yes, except that they won't be able to scale everything
as might be desired.
eg. for image borders one'd need an evas api func to
set 'image_border_fill' (lw,rw,th,bh kind of inputs), and for
text...... Well, the most satisfying way of dealing with this
would be to use freetype to pick an idex that best fits a given
x,y scale (though I'm not sure how well that would work with
bitmap font glyphs). But without automatic viewport scaling,
it would mean an api func for setting a text obj's 'scaling'
somehow.
