To make the application cross-platform the author has used Tcl/Tk, a perfectly acceptable and stable Linux window manager which has been ported to Windows and runs largely independently of it, so it _cannot_ access most of Windows' bells and whistles including large fonts. (To support a native Windows application, and a native Linux Tcl/Tk one, would require several people to contribute I'm sure; the [sole] author has made a good, pragmatic design decision, albeit one with some unfortunate consequences as you've found out). Alastair PS Despite it all the _horizontal_ scroll bar to move through the game list does annoy me a bit ;)
