Jun 4, 2019 at 1:04 comment added Michael B. Heaney I tried to "change the default text font in the style sheet" as described by Heike, and text cells do not "use the updated font size by default." Are the instructions no longer valid? Can someone please give me current, more detailed instructions?

Jan 31, 2012 at 12:13 comment added István Zachar Ok, I see the problem now: either I change the screen resolution and then I have proper Text-cell fontsize but all other (Input, Output, Message, Print, etc. output) styles seem to be too big requiring thus manual resetting of style parameters OR I can change the style of Text cells, but then again, both solutions would end up printing in different, unproportional sizes. Thus the issue boiles down to the fact that Times New Roman 12pt looks approx. 2 points smaller than Courier New 12pt, independent of resolution. Strange choice of fonts...
