Description
When switching on retina/HiDPI mode, ofDrawBitmapString() becomes really tiny, it would be nice if it could scale up x 2 for readability. (I use it for debugging ALL the time and becomes really difficult to cope with when using Retina mode).

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation and references for ofDrawBitmapString(), then inspect how Retina or HiDPI mode affects its scale. The change is done when bitmap strings are readable at twice the scale in Retina mode without changing their normal-mode appearance; verify the result in a Retina configuration.
