Eu perguntei a Chris Jackson, o cara do AppCompat . Ele disse:
We don’t have such an ability, the scaled mode is what we have to handle those situations. Yes, there clearly are some things that are suboptimal about how we do that (I hate the fuzzies too), but it’s hard to get a second fix approved which technically solves the same thing since that means that engineer isn’t doing something else to make the world a better place.
Então, Chris, se você se juntar ao SuperUser - você pode obter crédito pela sua resposta.
