BTW: We need a group v2.0 for the tracker - I cannot edit categories.

The current font size is too big in the quiz mode (at least for my longer texts). Possibly having a selection of available font sizes (small, medium, large, or point size) would be best.

    found a way to change the font size (format>font).
    Now I find just the default size too big.

    I see the default font size is too big for your items. Perhaps it would make sense if the List Text size preference had an effect on the text size. I think better formating options for the items would make a lot of sense here. What do you think?

    When I change the font size (using the panel below the list, selecting all text, then Format>Font>Show Fonts) eg from the default 24 pt to 12 pt, then in the list view the item changes to grey instead of black (columns A and B not the rest).

    Yes, formatting choices would make sense. Perhaps options in Preferences for a default font, and font size for the items when they do get presented "presentation view"? If you want the ultimate comfort: Separate presets for list view (as already implemented) and presentation view. Each of them with a default font, and fonts size, and presets you can change yourself including names, like the settings in a print dialogue.

    moving this to 1.7 since it applies equally well.
