thank you very VERY much!!!!

my render section contained only 2 lines, i copied 4 lines from yous:
PrimaryFontVersion2Family=Dejavu Sans
PrimaryFontVersion2Size=16
PrimaryFontVersion2Style=0
PrimaryFontVersion2Weight=50

changed the 16 to a more reasonable 12, and voila, google earth looks
fantastic, thanks a lot, 2 years of having to bear with small fonts is
finally over :D
