go to "Preferences" then pick "Font" from the side menu, then click the Font button. above the list of font sizes is a textbox... thats where you type in whatever size font you want and press enter...

You get a response that says "number must be between 8 and 38 pt."

my apologies, I guess that doesnt work... I really gotta start tryin this stuff out myself first rather than assuming it works there might be a registry setting for this, but I doubt it..... but then again what font do you need to be less than 8 point?? that's really small, even at a low resolution

if anyone knows how to render a font size of (insert desired font size here) in hexadecimal form, there is a registry setting for it, as well as a setting within the .blt file you get when you save your buddylist....
i have my font size set to 10pt, and it gives me a Decimal number of 4294967286, or a Hexadecimal string of fffffff6
