Doesn't sound quick ?

I can't think of a way to directly scale the content of a text box 
either, but I bet whatever you have to do is quicker than messing with

Also the projected text in the enlarger still has to be prepared, 
presumably to 35mm negative ?  That's not so cool for ad hoc
editing.
