I have found an error in the window layout of the editor which occurs on systems with non-'standard' DPI settings. My laptop has a 1920*1200 pixel display, but is physically only 17 inches, and so has smaller that normal pixels. So that i don't have to squint to read text, i have set the DPI to 150%. However this confuses programs that still use pixels to define there window layout, and text sizes are specified in points(which scale with DPI), not pixels (which don't). This is better explained with a screen shot, which can be found here.

I am sure this would be a trivial matter to solve and would greatly aid any users with HD displays.

As a site note, what particularly surprises me is that a couple of the buttons are unaffected by the change (e.g. "Select Font" and "Apply to all text meters...")smil43e948cd19a92.gif.

If this has been reported before then i apologise for the double post, thought i could not find it on the feature request list.

Wow that really does make a mess, I'll have a look at the differences of the fonts on the buttons to work out why some work and others do not. Its possible that they are using a hard coded value overriding the windows one incorrectly.
