I'd rather not change my own font settings just to make myself happy, because I want to know that I'm looking at the same screen all the kids will be. I thought the current size was based on assumptions of readability of the swizzled screen, and was more of a guess than a final decision. If the current font size is based on that research, then that's good enough for me. owen _______________________________________________ Sugar mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.laptop.org/mailman/listinfo/sugar
