New SL viewer messed with font size?

I just installed the latest SL viewer and it seems to have increased the LSL script editor font size.




Does anyone know how to fix this? It isn't the UI size or chat size that has changed, just the lsl script editor font size.

The problem is really that they put in a new monospace font (and a pretty nice one, really) but forgot to adjust the point size to be a reasonable fit with the existing UI.

In your Second Life app folder, find skins/default/xui/en-us/fonts.xml and open with a text editor. Scroll to the bottom and you will see the font_size tags. Try setting the entry for Monospace to around 7.0 instead of the default 9.0, save, restart SL to see the changes. Lather, rinse, repeat until you find a size that works for you.

It would be nice if there was something in the SL interface for this, but there isn't. (There were debug settings for this but they no longer work, the sizes were moved from settings to the skins.)
