most of the fonts that I tried seemed to be too large when compared to 
the DejaVu fonts for *bold*. Sans or Serif bold for instance seem 
properly sized. I backed down the "Application fonts" for system 
settings from 9 to 8 using DejaVu Sans Extralight which seems properly 
sized to me. This is being viewed through the SeaMonkey messages pane 
where it is most noticeable.
