The % screen size does not affect fonts. It affects the degree of
"white space" (in this case grey) between fields. Thus it can be used to make
the screen take up less space overall by shrinking the gaps.
But it won't change fonts or make them more readable.
Also, changing fonts in the options box for various fields has no effect.
I suspect some code elsewhere overrides whatever settings might be made
in the Options box. That's too bad, because with the options box users could
customize the look of the Child windows somewhat. To do simple changes in font
and so on would increase user buy-in substantially.
