Letting the user change fonts may help mitigate those other issues.

- Issues with MS fonts (like Tahoma) on Linux systems (easy workaround to install a font pack though)
It's actually not an easy workaround. Tahoma is not a free font and previous workarounds no longer work.
The problem with the Linux replacement font for Tahoma - or changing fonts in general - is that many labels and data grid columns are sized to fit the hard-coded font and are not adjustable. This leads to things being truncated and difficult to read.

2 years ago Expose UIConstants font parameters to the administrator configuration to be able to change font size and type.
// fonts public static final String MONOSPACED_FONT_NAME = SystemUtils.IS_OS_MAC ? "Courier" : "Monospaced"; public static final Font TEXTFIELD_PLAIN_FONT = new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 11); public static final Font TEXTFIELD_BOLD_FONT = new Font("Tahoma", Font.BOLD, 11); public static final Font BANNER_FONT = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 36); public static final Font DIALOG_FONT = new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 12); public static final Font MONOSPACED_FONT = new Font(MONOSPACED_FONT_NAME, Font.PLAIN, 12);
I agree that the Administrator tool would be better if it supported font changes.
In the meantime, are these UIConstants somewhere I can manually edit?
