I would like to suggest that Affinity properly scale text when an image is scaled to larger than 100%. The image below was scaled to 300%, and the text is blurry. I am working at 4K resolution, and need to scale the image up. The 'Text in' below is a 14 pt. Could you leave it at 14 pt in the final image, but behind the scenes display it at a size that keeps it from blurring when zoomed in? Adobe InDesign does this.

I guess, Serif does this intentionally since "Photo" mainly is a Pixel-Editing-Application.
I doubt, its suitable to compare it to InDesign; how does Photoshop handle this? (I really don´t know..)
Affinity-Publisher (which is comparable to InDesign) does show the Font the way you requested - see below.

The Font-Rendering in Photo shows what the final pixel-result will look like in the end.
(OK: Export to SVG or EPS is something different...).

Perhaps you want a Publisher-License? its just 46,- Euro excl. taxes.

kind regards
Fritz

Yes, in Designer there is actually an option to switch between the two modes (pixelating the preview or scaling it to show it sharply) but Photo is locked on the pixelated view, very likely for the reason suggested here.  This has come up numerous times on the forum.
