Comment (by waltweltonlair):

 The stylization code ignores the !ScaleLimit parameter, and effectively
 always uses a limit of 0.5.  If a path label is too long for the current
 feature, it scales it by up to a factor of 0.5 to see if it will fit.
 This happens in RS_FontEngine::!LayoutPathText - see the font_scale
 variable about 30 lines into the method.

 Updating the code to honor the !ScaleLimit setting would not be too much
 work (1/2 day at most, is my estimate).
