Pascal, I think this is the similar problem as those I
reported for the menu buttons which use a larger font than
the other buttons. While back I sent you the font scales as
they would be required to mimic 3.6.26. Now, I think one can
read it either way: I read it that the menu buttons get to
big a font, Israel reads it the other way round that the
font for the normal buttons (which is the "small" style) is
to small compared to the regular font.
As I mentioned back then I _think_ that some button types
are not used consistently within scid, ie. something that is
a dialog button should be a button and vice versa. Surely,
one would not want to set the "small" font to the same as
the "regular" font.
To see where this happend I found it helpful to set one font
to some serif type and the other one to a sans type font.
You'll then notice a funny mixture between sans and serif
fonts within certain dialogues even for different controls
that would have similar functions compared to the dialogues
context.
It's no critical error though, I think some unification of
this styles might be helpful and could even come up
automagically with implementation of themes in the long run.
(Though I'd then like to learn how to build a theme for
tcl/tk to get a decent font scheme ;)
