Re: [Evolution] Adjusting font size of calendar display

[Axel G. Rossberg <Axel Rossberg net>]

Some additional information:

When I set the "Scaling Factor" in gnome-tweak-tool from 1.73 to 1,
then all fonts in evolution become small (as expected from my choice
of font sizes), except for the font used to display dates in the
calendar (which was always small).  Interestingly, the relative
proportions of the fonts and their spacing in the calendar now look
correct.

Thus, it appear that the font used to display dates in evolution
calendar is somehow derived from a gnome system font, the font size
and text positioning are computed correctly, but when actually
rendering the font on the screen the step of applying the font scaling
factor is missing.
