Internet Options > Fonts dialog is a mess

Submitted by leaflord on November 14, 2008 to Aesthetics, Annoyance, Usability

The dialog box for choosing the default fonts in the "Internet Options" is unresizable; this makes the font selection boxes very hard to use.
EDIT:
It would also be convenient if they add the "minimum font size" feature.

Make it resizable. Better yet; refresh the design of the dialog box.
EDIT:
A simpler solution is to change it to a drop down box instead of a selection box.

It doesn't need a larger list box, just a drop-down list that you can type into, like a normal font-selection drop-down.

You're right - that just didn't strike me... Although IMO the box needs to be made a bit bigger; else all the "appearance" settings are better integrated into one

They apparently increased the size of the box in Windows 7.
