Difficulty scaling fonts and vector widths as a plotting panel changes size.

How do you rescale vector widths and message fonts as a plotting panel changes size?

The "Messages" for a plotting panel have a font size that appears to be determined by the "Font Factor".  

Likewise, the vector widths in a VectorField2D are set by the "LineWidth".

Neither of these things changes automatically as the plotting panel is expanded in size or reduced in size.  This causes major problems with appearance, readability, and functionality.

Is there any way to keep track of the plotting panel size so that the "Font Factor" and "LineWidth" can be correspondingly adjusted?
