How were you doing this?

Morphic should be fine for this, given a bit of thought about the design.
There are some places in the event handling where transforms aren't being
applied (some of this has broken recently, I think; you can see the problem
in a WiW morph when you click to get the world menu). These are easy to fix
and should be.
I don't think the Canvas should do anything different from dumb scaling of
whatever gets drawn on it. So the morphs should be scaled, as well as their
outlines.
Should something with a border width of 10 at full scale still have a border
width of 10 when it's scaled down by 1/1000?
If you want different behavior than just pure scaling, use BalloonCanvas (in
deferred mode if you can) and draw your morphs with the appropriate sizes for
borders, text, etc.. You can ask the canvas for its transform if you need to.
Watch out for the limits of ShortPointArray when you're drawing in Balloon,
BTW.
