Description
Hi, noob here.
Sorry if this is the wrong place for this,
but I noticed in some text apps (like Kate, I think), the zoom function is an actual zoom,
and not merely the appearance of a zoom through effectively growing the font.
I was looking for something like this, but it seems like Notepad++ doesn't have it,
and the consequence is that tab (the horizontal whitespace character) alignment changes as you “zoom”.
Is there anyway to keep tabs lined up nicely the same at all zoom levels?
Thanks!

Research direction
Reproduce the reported behavior in Notepad++ by zooming text that contains tabs and compare it with an actual zoom implementation such as Kate's. Trace the existing zoom behavior and define completion as preserving tab alignment at every zoom level without changing the underlying tab spacing.
