Comment:

 What if we don't set any absolute font sizes in general, and let special
 platforms like the XO override those values?

 Just removed, on an eeepc, the font sizes from sugar/graphics/style.py,
 share/sugar/data/sugar-*.gtkrc, TerminalActivity/terminal.py and
 ~/.sugar/default/terminalrc and it looks really good.

 If we had a way to influence the text size calculated by gtk (or would it
 be pango) on the platforms like the XO where the text size is
 miscalculated, we may be able to find a solution that works on almost all
 computers.
