On my computer (Windows 7 x64), the new Segoe UI default font for Version 4.6
appears to be a larger size than the font for Version 4.5. I would like to
control the font size in FreeFileSync independently from the nomimal font
sizes that Windows uses for icons, etc. Is this possible? I've looked in the
GlobalSettings.xml file, but nothing there seems to control the font size.
Thanks.

Followup: The default font size in FreeFileSync 4.6 seems to be determined by
the "Message Box" font size in the "Windows Color and Appearance" applet as
part of modifying the "Window Color" of the current theme.

I changed this "Message Box" setting to a smaller size (Change from 11 pt to
10 pt) and got the results I wanted.

Correct, FFS uses Windows' message box font, which (for default settings)
changed from MS Shell Dlg 2, 8 pt to Segoe UI, 9 pt since Windows Vista.
