I would do this by first setting the context's CTM to scale the text
size appropriately, and then drawing with HIThemeDrawTextBox and a
standard theme font.
That might be a reasonable short-term solution, though it's a little
risky to simply do a linear scaling of text, if that's what you mean.
First, an N-point font is not necessarily any particular number of
pixels in size, so you don't have as much control over the final size
as you might like. If you stick to the system fonts, of course you have
a greater chance of success, but I would be a little uncomfortable
using this method.
Second, you may not get the best font rendering, since linear scaling
isn't the same as optical scaling, and some fonts are tuned to account
for optical scaling.
These probably aren't a big deal in this case, but they're something to
be aware of.
