Increasing font scale beyond 1.5 causes cut off text, icon spacing doesn't scale right

My HTPC box is using opensuse 13.2 using gnome, so I increase the font scale from 1.0 and 1.5. The problem is this scaling is not done all that intelligently, where some unresizable windows and non-scaling of icon spacing causes text to get cut off. Anyone else experience this? I don’t have screenshots right now but I can post some later tonight. Seems like polishing of the font scaling interface is not polished at all.
