Hi!

I've tried to reproduce this, but it works fine even when reducing my screen resolution.

Ethereal uses the GTK-Wimp package to set the system fonts and alike to have a Windows look-a-like feeling.

There's no direct way (that I know of), to manipulate the system font size.

What you could do is try to reinstall Ethereal without the GTK-Wimp package.

Regards, ULFL
