Actually this "worked" in Plugin Oberon (under GNU/Linux) as well.

Yes (that's why I said "worked" above). Being able to read text 
comfortably seems like a rather basic requirement. Moreover, some labels 
are cut off with a (slightly) larger font like Oberon14.Scn.Fnt. I 
thought ETH Oberon was more mature than this.
