Aleksey, To clarify my "bug": SoaS text is not just too small in a given Activity; text is too small in SoaS *overall*.
SoaS's default font size seems to be 10 - the same as for XO-1. Any text that SoaS prints seems to be size 10. For me to get readable text, I need to raise all instances (in my activity) to 14. (This is equivalent in set-user-markup to "<big><big>".) Regarding your code suggestion: Indeed I'd like to have a general declaration to set font size to 14 in my activity (for SoaS - all cases). Would it be sufficient to: declare: from sugar.graphics import style and early in my __init__ method specify: style.font_zoom(14) ?
