the subject text for new messages also ignores the custom font size setting.

Comment 2 Laurent Montel 2011-07-12 17:39:59 UTC

I can confirm this bug

Comment 3 Laurent Montel 2012-02-20 09:25:00 UTC

It's not a bug.
It's defined in theme. In theme we told that we can't change it.

isn't that assertion a bug?  from the end user's point of view, the setting indicates the ability to customize the message list's font, but in reality it only provides the ability to customize it in some parts of the message list and not others.  it doesn't matter if it's the setting dialog or the theme or whatever that ignores the setting; the actual behavior is not what's reasonably expected, so somewhere there is a bug.

perhaps you'd like this to be a wish list request instead?  something along the lines of "provide a way to customize various fonts used in the message list".  all of the other fonts are customizable; why shouldn't these be too?  i'll settle for this if that's what it takes to bring this to a developer's attention.

either way, i don't agree that this is an invalid request.
