Bug Description

Binary package hint: amsn

Since the upgrade on Gutsy to 0.97+final-0ubuntu1~gutsy1 the default font in amsn is much larger then other applications (in GNOME).

I know the user can make custom font settings with amsn but one would expect that when all settings are default that not such a big difference in font size (of the application) should occur. Sometimes the layout of the text distorted because of the larger font setting. E.g. for 'do you want to read offline messages?' the question mark is alone on a newline.

Please configure amsn by default to use the same settings as the window manager is using.

Font size is somewhat identical, however, probably because of non native GNOME widgets or whatever, not the same font is being used. See screenshot. If this difference is realy deep inside AMSN and how it is build, I understand it is perhaps to burdersome to fix. Nevertheless, most other applications use exactly the same font of the window manager.

In short, font size has improved in Intrepid, for the rest I'll leave it up to you.
