Please, don't jump to conclusion, tests were done on GNOME (half or more of the
people who worked on testing the feature are using GNOME).

Maybe we should change GNOME default to use a bigger monospace font (or maybe
we can "tweak" fontconfig to bump Source Code Pro size, with something similar
to
http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/41062/forcing-font-size-based-on-language-in-fonts-conf
)

But anyway, we should move this issue to a separate bug report.
