Scaled Text

Some commands such as CONSOLE.SET "TEXTSIZE <size>" can accept scaled pixel sizes.
These are diffferent to dip (device independent pixels), in that furthur scaling is applied according to the android device user preferences (e.g Display settings of device). These are refered to as scaled pixels (SP).

To honour SP sizes, you can set the console text size with a negative size,

e.g CONSOLE.SET "TEXTSIZE = -16"           % positive values are DP, negative values are SP
If the user has enlarged the fonts in the device systems settings, then the font will appear larger than the equivalent  size of 16dp.

To get the perceived scaled pixel density, you can use

 SCREEN.SIZE  size[]_array[], realsize[]_array[], density_DP_nvar, density_SP_nvar
 
e.g density_SP returns 320 on a 160 dpi display with a user preference scale of 2X in settings.
