Thank you, Edward! myLeoSettings.leo is the only myLeoSettings.leo on my machine.
Well, after playing around I found out that replacing DefaultTheme by None in my settings did the trick. This means, that themes change font settings and the like, too. Checked that by inspecting themes files (e.g. EKRLight.leo). Makes sense, but then, why having those settings in myLeoSettings as well? This makes the whole config'ing of Leo rather complex, doesn't it? Cheers Paul, being happy again for now :-) On Sunday, December 13, 2020 at 3:46:27 PM UTC+1 Edward K.
