What I did was to start customize my brand new Lazarus and this
involves changing the colors around quite a lot since I am used to a
certain style since many years of Delphi work.
Anyway, I also wanted to reduce the size of the font so I went to the
"Editor Font Height" box (which had defaulted to -17 if I remember
correctly). Here I changed it to 10 expecting a font size similar to
what I get when setting tha size in other Windows applications like
Notepad etc. But it caused the very small size to appear.
Finally I set it to 16 and it is OK.

I never noticed the sign thing until I read this reply, though.
The default was negative....

Since people ask things like "which version are you using" can you
please tell me how I can find out if I have downloaded from SVN and
specified the fixes branch of 0.9.30?
I have no experience whatsoever with SVN, just installed it and used
the suggested command on teh WIKI to get the files....
