Thanks for your reply.
I've set {font.pointSize} to {Math.max(root.height * 0.4)} and seems to be kina
OK for "li",''fa" and they are same size "us", but layouts like "lat" or "apl"
are smaller than normal. so it is not the best design.
The another solution is that user change font size like digital clock widget
which I don't think it is that much "better".
Why don't we consider display text to be all two or three letters? for example
to embrace ISO 639 language codes. In this case we have more control on font
size. Also in keyboard layout context we're talking about languages than
countries. For instance If I also install "Kurdish (Iran, Arabic-Latin)" and
"Persian" for both of them the text display is "ir" and it is hard to
distinguish them. and these are different languages.
