I guess I didn't word my question correctly, Michael.  Why doesn't the 
font size selected for print get used _only_ to print, while the 
bigger font for display is used _only_ for the display *at the same 
time*?

It seems to me that this should be two seperate functions, not 
something shared on an instant basis for both, which is what it is in 
actual fact.

So let this be a request for an improvement then, can we get a total 
seperation between the fonts used for display, and the fonts used for 
printing?
