Font size anomalies in LINQPad 9
I've just upgraded to LINQPad 9 (licensed user since 2012). It looks great and I'm sure I will enjoy all the improvements as I always do. There are some font size anomalies I've noticed though.
I use DejaVu Sans Mono. Size 9 pt in Visual Studio, Notepad++, bash, Windows Terminal and 12 pixels in VS Code all look identical and produces visuals that I like.
I'm guessing that LINQPad (9, 8, and probably some/all previous versions) sets the font size to 10 pt by default. Previously, despite LINQPad lacking an explicit font size setting, I used to be able to adjust the size to get it looking the same as the other apps. But now, the first smaller size looks too small, and doesn't match the 9 pt visuals.
Here's how the steps work in LINQpad 8 (default -> smaller -> smaller):
It's the middle step that matches the 9 pt in all the other apps.
Here's how the steps work in LINQpad 9 (default -> smaller):
This only has the equivalent steps 1 and 3 of LINQPad 8, missing the one in the middle. Further, the smaller step is still not matching the visuals of LINQPad 8.
Taking screenshots of LINQPad 8 and 9 and overlaying them, the default font size produces identical visuals
However, if I go down one step smaller in LINQPad 9, it's a) already too small than 9 pt, the original issue I described, and b) still doesn't match going down two steps smaller in LINQPad 8:
I guess the best solution would be to give us the option to set the font size explicitly in the settings. I've always found it odd that this doesn't exist in the first place in a piece of software where the main interaction is via a text editor.
