Remarks

Current user preference for the scaling factor for fonts, relative to the base density scaling.

Note: Please do not use this to hardcode font size equations. The equation for font scaling is now non-linear; this coefficient is no longer used as a direct multiplier to determine font size. It exists for informational purposes only.

Please use android.util.TypedValue#applyDimension(int, float, DisplayMetrics) or android.util.TypedValue#deriveDimension(int, float, DisplayMetrics) to convert between scaled font size dimensions and pixels.
