Thank you for pointing me to the CL and other comments.
It appears smaller on Linux than on Windows with the default UI font setting
untouched. I never thought the tab title font size is too small on Windows.
For me even English titles look a little too small on Linux.
The hard-coded value is 8pt. So, assumming 96dpi, it's 10 or 11px. At that
size,
traditional Chinese characters with a lot of horizontal strokes would look
really
bad.
As for using bitmap font, I'd be against that. Windows CJK fonts with
built-in bitmap
glyphs look ugly (small or larget ;-p). New CJK UI fonts introduced on
Vista and
(most) CJK outline fonts on Linux look nicer with anti-aliasing on than XP
CJK fonts
with bitmap glyphs. Well, others may not agree (some Chinese linux users
definitely
do not agree with me :-))
More importantly, at 10px/11px, bitmap fonts wouldn't solve the problem for
Chinese
if not making it worse.
