Really?  The level of detail one wants to see is independent of the
size of the area.  If I want to print a 1:10000 map all icons are
going to be the same size.

The size on the PDF is fixed anyway.  The parking icon I have just
looked at seems to be 16x16 pixels and because the strokes are not
aligned to pixels it looks pretty blurry when one zooms to a level
where they are about 5 mm tall due to anti-aliasing.  It would look a
lot better if they had 32x32 or even more pixels.  The size on the PDF
should not change, of course.
