Oh... I just wanted to make scaling of ScalableFont to work. I didn't
except it to affect like that in client. Although, IMHO it's better than
not scaling at all. I'm sorry, but I don't know the old system :/ When
so "we move from the on scene to the other"? Does it mean changing font
sizes less often in animation (only at the end, at the beginning or in
the middle of it)? And only the AWT client should work like that...

Sounds better. AFAIK we should not draw outside the box, or at least we
should use a stencil of box's size. So, is streching is actually view's
feature as in 0.6? If view is allowed to strech cells, it requests the
size from the current CellView, which passes the request to the current
CellContentView?

View-CellView interaction needs more thought, since CellView should be
able to affect how its connections are drawn, although this should not be
obligatory. E.g. in LollipopCellView I want all the connection lines to
meet in the middle of its ball... or alternatively they should start from
the edge of the ball on the proper direction. In practice CellView
could create a one translation coordinate system for the start point of
all connection lines... or create a translation coordinate system for a
point on its edge on requested direction. Well, I have a peg about
this in my TODO, but I haven't got so far yet.
