A regression? That is it wasn't in 0.9.28.2?
Or a normal bug? Like one of the many other bugs that have not yet been 
fixed, and will not be fixed for 0.9.30?

Has this bug ever been reported on mantis? In regards with Win-XP => 
there was an issue with gtk2

Also to clarify, you mean:
- the current Lazarus displays a font that is set to 10, differently 
than the released Lazarus 0.9.28(.2) did?
- or: Lazarus displays a font that is set to 10, differently than Delphi 
(or whatever your app of reference is)?


If it is the 2nd: A font has a height and a Size.  Height=10 differs 
from Size=10.
I don't currently know, if in Lazarus you use the Height or Size, and I 
do not know what Delphi or other apps do...

There is however: http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=17694
(which is affecting win too). So depending how you set the font size, 
you may experience this bug.
