[Bug 598418] Re: Can't change font size in Empathy

[Sense Hofstede]

Thank you for helping with making Ubuntu and its IM client Empathy
better by reporting this bug. It is most certainly a valid paper cut and
an accessibility issue as well.

I'm accepting this as a paper cut and am reporting this upstream if it
hasn't been done already. Thank you!

** Summary changed:

- The font size is not easily customizable
+ Can't change font size in Empathy

** Description changed:

- On empathy the default font size is too small with certain resolutions,
- and there isn't an easy way to set it properly (unless you edit the
- theme XML).
+ It is not possible to change the font size of Empathy chats in the
+ Empathy preferences window. You can only change it by adapting the
+ theme's XML file, but that is not what we want to force users to do,
+ especially when users have problems with their eye-sight and need larger
+ fonts.
