I wrote this code to randomly draw organic branched structures.
Since the organic structures have different dimensions I'm using the scale function to normalize the width.
The result is a rather ugly because the structures are displayed with fonts with different sizes.
Is there a way to normalize the structures width only when it exceeds a certain size?

Thanks a lot

Jorge
