That's good and I'll definitely try Chrome. But, wouldn't it be great if the library/framework just took care of that?

I believe both firefox and ie does fine with zoom as well. No need to support edge cases in a library like thia, imho.

Scaling a presentation is not an edge case -- as other commenters have mentioned, working with undesirable screen resolutions is the default for presenters. It would be better to have the presentation scale automatically to the window size than to have to press Ctrl+/Ctrl- to try to get it reasonably close.
