The contact's names fonts don't display correctly, the lower font's part does not display at all.

OS: Windows 7 64bit

Please take a look at the screenshot!

Thanks for reporting this! Are you using the "large fonts" setting or have you otherwise changed the DPI settings of your display?

I didn't know there was a "large fonts" settting, I just changed the default font size to 18 via Tools>Options>Content because 13 was way too small for me. Changing it back to 13 (the original default siz)e doesn't fix the issue though.

The Tools>Options>Content font settings only affect the font inside the conversation window (you can also use Ctrl-+/- to zoom there by the way), but not the contact list.

The "large font" setting I was asking about would be the one in your Windows system control panel.

I checked my Control Panel. I have "medium font" set there. "Small font" (the default) makes all fonts too small for me.

Thanks for checking. Comparing the screenshots, this looks like the same issue as bug 954368 (bio 935). Hopefully this will be fixed in Instantbird 1.3.
