When I implemented a scalable teleprompter screen in MacOS, I did it by rendering the text in a narrow view that was scaled down by the scale factor, then scaled the view up to fill the containing view. With a little work, it was fully editable. I was not using CALayers at the time. When I tried to do the same on iOS, in which every view is layer backed, the layer scaled with the view and resulted in blocky text, definitely not what I wanted. Because it was mono-Font text, I resorted to scaling the font instead.
Later, because of view size limitations on layer-backed views in iOS, I implemented a tiled view. I never went back to view scaling, but I wonder if you could control the granularity of the involved CALayers such that a tiled view would produce a clean result when scaled up? Just a thought.
