ScreenFontSize misbehaviour
Changing the screenFontSize changes the absolute scale of stars but it does not increase Cardinals fontSize, Compass fontSize or cross.png.
Furthermore, I would like to suggest increasing the maxvalue of lines and fonts.
Unrelated... perhaps it is a good idea to include the orbital nodes of the Moon; that is, the two points at which the orbit of the Moon intersects the ecliptic.
What version of Stellarium are you using? Cardinals' size changes fine for me. Compass is indeed unaffected.
As for the marker, if we choose to scale it, I suppose the selection indicator pointeur2.png should then also be scaled (and maybe the other "pointeurs" too).
re the unrelated: We have no model that directly provides the nodes, as Lunar position is computed "directly". You can observe them by drawing Lunar orbit.

Right now I am on 24.3, the reason being that on this version the abs scale of the stars remain fixed as they should. I actually reverted from 25.1.
I will test 25.1 again in a minute, and will edit this post when I know more about the cardinals/compass. I mention cross.png because I know this item used to scale with screenfontsize a few years ago.
Edit, I've just tested 25.1, indeed the Cardinals does change with screenFont as it should, however compass does not, compass changes with the guiFont!

The absolute scale of stars shouldn't be touched by screenFontSize parameter IMHO

Agreed, this only started after 24.3; 24.3 functions as it should.
Cardinals::updateFontSizes() is indeed weird, as it prefers config.ini values over live settings.

I see, I thought about it more like the 0⁰ point where the ecliptic crosses the equator, but I understand both have grids. Would be cool to see more lunar points in the future like nodes but also lunar apogee/perigee derived by its distance.

Well, this was done in #4111, and the config parameter name simply wasn't changed, while its meaning is now not just about the font.

That is actually makes sense and I think is a good idea, however the gridlines are not altered by this, while the constellation lines are. Also the compass markers reacts to GUI and not to screenFont.
But to be honest I think screen settings and Font settings should be separated, perhaps by another spinbox. If I wanted to increase the font without changing lines/stars then I am now caught in a bind. Being able to adjust them separately I think is preferred.
@gzotti your fix introduced another bug :(
To reproduce:
- Show some celestial point in "Markings" tab
- Increase point size for markers (for example, 15 - you will see big marker and label with "normal" font size)
- Try to increase screen font size - you will see reset the size of marker
How do you increase point size for markers from the GUI? I only saw the scripting function, GridlineMgr.setPointSize(s)

Obvious place - "Markings" tab, bottom of middle column, where you can see tools for changing thickness of lines and parts also.
