I don't think it is.  Tk's text widget is separate from Tk's canvas as
far as I know.  Tk's canvas does have significant scaling issues (or
used to have, anyway).

Not that one shouldn't or couldn't use some canvas for a text editor,
but I don't think there's good evidence that Tk's canvas would be
suitable.
