Thanks, Erwin, and hello from Mödling!
I had tried every combination these settings before opening a support case and, on Ventris's request, again afterwards, with no change. If it makes a difference: I am using the "(non-skinned)" MM 4.1.29.1910 in portable mode; the fonts always were too small to be comfortable with, but once I saw that MM5 beta had the same problem, I figured that it had better be fixed. I like MM and don't want to go to the hassle of finding something else.
Here is a sample at 16 px, full-screen mode. Note that the images are displayed at different scale factors by phpBB; to compare font sizes, please view them with something that allows a 1:1 zoom.
And here is one at 10 px. Note the "Art" panel and the ridiculously small menu font size. Also note that enlarging the font requires a setting of 32 px would make the column headings look like billboards (see previous screen shot, they seem to be the only UI elements that scale linearly with the font size setting).
Finally, back at the normal 12 px (actually, MM default is 10 px, God love us all), and back in full-screen mode, note the incorrect calculation of not only the menu font size but also of the menu position in the title bar. This is called "owner-draw" in Win32 programming lingo, and once an app decides to draw title bars and other (normally Windows-provided) pieces of the UI itself, it should try hard to get it right.
And all of these issues were present in the MM5 beta, too, as of a week ago.
