Description Alexander Sack 2009-03-25 10:12:25 UTC 
evolution treats pixelsized fonts as point sized for some widgets in e-text and e-cell-text at least.

See ubuntu bug: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/345189 - "regression after switching system font size to 13.333 pixel - fonts appear too large in some apps that do hand made font sizing - treating pixel units as point units"

Attaching patch.

honour absolute font sizing

might depend on gtkhtml fix in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=576684

to reproduce, set your system fonts in /desktop/gnome/interface/ to "Sans 13.333px" and "Monospace 13.333px"

Looks good to me.  Please commit.
Comment 4 Matthew Barnes 2009-03-25 11:31:00 UTC 
Committed to trunk (revision 37474).

Note, we have not yet branched for 2.27, so this will apply to 2.26.1 as well.
