Screenshot: Changed default font size 14pt

Steps to reproduce:
- Change workspace basic font size (General / Appearance / Colors and Fonts -> Basic / Text Font) to non-default size (e.g. 14 pt)
- Activate column mode

The font size now switches between default size (12 pt) when column mode is activated and the specified font size.

There is a separate 'Text Editor Block Selection' font as this should normally be a monospace font.
Comment 3 Tom Hofmann CLA 2011-04-21 03:43:36 EDT
We tried to match the font size, but it turned out that this does not work if the fonts are not the same (e.g. a Courier 14pt will be different in size from a Helvetica 14pt).
