The glyphs for Latin languages have frequently different height than the same
size of fonts for CTL and RTL languages. This is common, not a corner case.

Additionally, the amount of different reports, duplicates, RFE, forum posts...
All related to the formula bar clarity/readability – whether expressed in terms
of "height" or in terms of "font type" or in terms of "font size" or... - is
not "small". Qualifying these users as a minority is not an accurate
description, IMO.

It is true that sometimes users describe the requests or problems in
less-than-ideal terms. I am not pushing for one specific method or another. I
am trying to describe the problem as clear as I can, especially considering the
amount of reports regarding this subject. By mentioning some of the different
types of requests regarding the same matter I am simply showing that perhaps
_one_ direction (e.g. a fixed bigger font for everyone) might not be the most
desirable solution. But that doesn't mean that the need for a solution would
only satisfy a request for a minority. These requests are not from a minority,
given the amount of them, especially since the UI scaling went away (and, just
in case, I am not pushing for that specific alternative either).
