Screen magnification looks ugly; in comparison, using the subsurface
built-in zoom mode to show some profile details will be the better
choice as long as no other means of magnifying the plot labels exist.

Ehm... my video turorial will of course be 1080p... I am too much
into video quality to use anything less ;-)

Yet, when watched from some distance or on a smaller screen, the texts
in subsurface will of course need to stay readable, and the Xft.dpi
setting already does a good job on this.

I think I can work with what is possible already, but any additional
way to increase the plot label is welcome, of course.
