Thank you for your response Flavio.

Does that mean that all sizes of map elements must be sized larger so they
scale with the map?

Does anyone know if this is something that is being worked on or has been a
feature request?  Can GD or Imagemagick scale the image to an 8 x 8 at 150
dpi without degrading the image?
