Steps to Reproduce:
1. configure horizontal panel 24pts high
2. install "stock Ticker" applet
3. 

Actual Results:
scrolling text is not clearly readable

Expected Results:
text should be vertically aligned with the middle of the panel
and the font and fontsize should match teh rest of the panel.

The forward/back scroll buttons should also be smaller on the 24pt
panel to
avoid using so much space.  Perhaps a mouse gesture in the text area could
eliminate the need for the buttons?

I disagree about the buttons. They should expand to allow for Fitts'
law complience.

THere's a bug open about using the default font #91333.

Closing as notabug
