Bug Description

If you have a TextField with "echoMode: TextInput.Password", you'll see that the password echo character doesn't scale well with different sizes.

Try with GRID_UNIT_PX=16 and GRID_UNIT_PX=8 for comparison.

While the rest of the UI "zooms in" as it were, the password character stays the same size. It seems to be a font issue, since if you use a different character as the echo character, everything looks fine.

Why does that one unicode character not scale like the rest of the font?
