I am not sure I understood you correctly, did you mean the fonts on the
panel or in the preedit dialog (where you type in pinyin and choose from
character candidates)?

I have confirmed that the font size setting (Panel -> GTK -> Misc ->
Font in setup) indeed work for the preedit dialog, although you need to
restart scim (maybe also scim-panel-gtk, I just killed them all) to have
the new settings taking effect.

I haven't found any way to change the fonts on the SCIM panel (where you
choose input method, character width, punctuation, etc.), but I suppose
it's not something you keep looking at.  And James may provide a way to
change that, but I really think it's not important.

Hope this helps,
Ming
