Description ru 2003-10-15 12:34:53 UTC 
If one changes system fonts or themes in GNOME dialog fonts in SO doesn't
respect that. They keep their original size. Also buttons and comboboxes on
toolbars have to change their size accordingly.

Regarding buttons two approaches were discussed. To do switching automatically
either the scrollbar width or the menu height can be used to recognize e.g. a
'LargePrint' theme.
It was agreed that the latter approach is more appropriate because there are
some themes that come with a thicker scrollbar per default and thus the user
would have large icons although it was not demanded.

This bug replaces #105081# as font size in menus are working now.

MT->FL: I suggest to use the same font size for dialogs like we use for menus,
but restrict it to a maximum of XXPt, maybe dependend on screen size, so our
standard dialogs still fit.
Please specify and send to SSA.
FL->CJ: I think this one is an issue for you. Thank you!

RU: Status bar in StarOffice also doesn't respect LargePrint theme

Gnome & Windows user can modify the Application font size.

Please Compare with
http://www.gnome.org/learn/users-guide/2.4/goscustdesk-38.html

In my opinion OO.o shouldn't ignore these settings. Gnome provides
values from 8-72pt and WinXP 6-24pt we should take care about the
values in this range.

System font sizes are now allowed up to a reasonable size to not let
dialogs exceed the screen. (Our dialogs were designed to fit 800x600
at 8pt).
On UNIX this is currently only active if you select 'Use system font
for UI' in the accessibility options.
Once #110754# is fixed, the system's font sizes are used always.
Fixed in CWS vcl17.
