    This bad first impression may have turned a lot of people away
    from Leo right at the start.  Correcting this could make a
    surprisingly big difference.

    I have now disabled @data qt-gui-plugin-style-sheet in
    myLeoSettings.leo.  The result is that I am now continuously
    testing the corresponding setting in leoSettings.leo.

Even better than this, could you please make some of those settings more accessible? For instance, you could make the font size of the main panes accessible from the menu. From my very limited experience (just a few days), Leo's settings are terribly complicated, and entering into those setting files is like entering into a jungle. It is very discouraging! I had to post help requests on this forum just for changing the font type and sizes. This does not look right. It is far from user-friendly.
My request concerns only the most commonly used settings, of course.
Perhaps something like:

@string body-font-face = DejaVu Sans Mono
@string body-font-size = 14pt
@string log-font-face = DejaVu Sans Mono
@string log-font-size = 14pt
@string outline-font-face = DejaVu Sans Mono
@string outline-font-size = 14pt

Should be handled by the @data qt-gui-plugin-style-sheet parsing code? That would be awesome, in my opinion -- actually, allowing any '@yoursettinghere' (which searches for either a @color or @string) in qt-gui-plugin-style-sheet would make the stylesheet wayyyy more usable and Leonine.
