Hm, I doubt that the difference in sizing is our implementators’ fault.

The UI fonts used in Windows (MS Sans Serif, Tahoma, Segoe UI); Mac (Lucida
Grande, Helvetica Neue); and Linux (DejaVu, Ubuntu, Cantarell, ...) have all
wildly different metrics, so it’s obvious that they will look different.

Well, the design for the start center contemplated bigger labels from the
start. Nobody made mockups with Lucida Grande, as it’s obvious.

See my reply to comment #7.

Anyway, as I mentioned already, we could reduce the size a bit everywhere and
achieve a nice compromise.
