  The title bar with the bold font looks nice at both sizes.

  Our defaults are not very dense so the loss of density is only going to be bad, except for the case of small screens. On those its more then reasonable to assume you will need to adjust your fonts and the sizes of things in general anyway.

  To try to figure out how much larger things will be with these new defaults for the fonts I used gimp's scale tool with the provided images. Its looking like the average element will be 10% larger with the bump up in font size. This should effect any element that has text, all qlabels without text and anything using Font Metrics.

  Yes, We should look into why these widgets are acting that way.
