Notice how Inkscape is kind of Grey and funny looking (not like a normal Mac app)? That's GTK. ;-) GTK looks great on Linux, not as great on Mac. GTK determines the font size, among other things, but no one so far has known which files to edit to change the GTK settings.
I think GTK is roughtly the same things as "Aqua".
Essentially, it's not exactly an Inkscape issue, it's a GTK issue. Inkscape *does* use GTK, but so do thousands of other programs.
Hmm - just done a Spotlight search for GTK, graphics toolkit and anything else like that that I can think of. The only results that come up are these mail messages...
I wonder what else it might be called on a Mac? I'll ask the on-line MUG I belong to.
Thanks, Phil
