+Font Sizes
+<p>Another one of those questions I get asked several times a day is "how do I
+make the font size in the conversation window larger." Like the buddy list
+indentation I mentioned in earlier post to this blog, this is another thing
+controlled by an obscure setting that has to be manually set in a text file
+somewhere.</p>
+
+<p>It turns out that people asking this question almost always want one thing:
+that when someone IMs them formatted text, that it not appear too small. In the
+past, people have used the "Ignore incoming font sizes" option in Gaim to 
+ensure their buddies' messages are always legible, but in Gaim 2.0.0, we've
+replaced this with a "Ignore incoming formatting" option, which also turns off
+colors and font styles.</p>

+
+<p>I thought about adding a feature to let you easily adjust the size of the
+conversation font, but today, I submitted some code that I hope solves the 
+root of the problem. In previous versions of Gaim, a "smaller" font was about
+83% the size of the normal font, and the "smallest" was about 69%. I've changed
+these numbers to 95% and 85% respectively.</p>
+

+
+<p>If you've been bothered by fonts in Gaim being too small before, I hope
+you give this a try and let me know if this is a good solution.</p>
