 > Haha I wouldn't put it as "winning" or "losing" I just think this is
 something that a lot of people feel is important that should probably be
 acknowledged.  While the GTK+ Theme Control plugin is included by default
 it honestly is kind of confusing (at least confusing enough to cause a lot
 of people to complain) and I'm pretty sure it doesn't let you control JUST
 the size (or at least I haven't figured out how to get it to do that.)
 And, MUCH more importantly, it is very confusing and non-intuitive.  No
 normal user would recognize they need to use that plugin to change the
 font size.  What people really need is a VERY SIMPLE "Font size zoom", or
 something similar, option in the general preferences panel

 I'm not sure if that's what you meant by "you guys win" but I really hope
 so because I seriously think it will make a huge difference usability
 wise.  Thank you all so much for taking the time to read my complaints on
 [http://itshumour.blogspot.com/2009/05/crazy-artistic-tattoos.html crazy
 tattoos] I know it's been a lot of work putting such an awesome program
 together and I really appreciate it.  I seriously just believe very
 strongly that this is something simple that could make a huge difference.
 Thanks again and have an awesome day.


 This font stuff is really funny, i admire it ;)
