--- Comment #42 from Yury <yury.tarasievich at gmail.com> ---
My apologies, but do the decision-makers even understand the issue raised here
(and in #67372)?? For I, for example, did not understand at all the reason for
closing #67372 (which, incidentally, is actually NOT a duplicate of this
#101646), and I do not actually understand the argumentation for these options
removal.

I *believe* the end-user *might* "legitimately" wish to independently change UI
font face AND UI font size AND the scale of UI elements, to better suite one's
current requirements on application *usability*.

The bulk of actual work is done in applications, not in desktop environments.
And even applications may differ w/r to their requirements for the text
display. 

When I'm working with a text or a diagram, I don't even get to see the desktop
space, as the app's space is maximised. The OOO is multi-platform, I might work
as a guest, with a portable installation, etc.

Now, one actually must have legible text in Writer/Draw menus and dialogs, as
those are used frequently, as opposite to, say, web browser. (and no, countless
toolbars or whatever they are called now--stripes? ribbons? do not decisively
help here; I have many of those switched on, but only for addons; BTW, new LO
icons are rather indistinguishable, both from each other and from background)

Also, in OOO you might want to make the graphic parts of dialogs (say, color or
hatching samples) bigger, without tying those changes to the text size. Or you
might want different UI font face and/or size. And you might want to make those
changes just for the brief period, e.g., for the screen-cast, or when your eyes
are tired, or when you work in sub-optimal lighting conditions, etc.

Now, I'm a OOO user with about 20 years of experience, principally doing lots
of text with graphics. But I do not participate in the OOO development. Does my
opinion actually count?
