Bug Description

On Dapper, the minimum font size is settable in both the simple fonts panel and the detailed font view. They both seem to edit the font size, except if either is changed to a value below the other, that change does not take effect. Increasing either or decreasing either but keeping it above the other setting's value works.

The obvious fix is to remove one setting, or at least make the settings mirror each other. Having two settings for one thing is extremely confusing to me, though, even if they are mirrored.

Thanks for your bug report, the removal of options in the font dialog was discussed in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328499 as well. The inconsistency was not mentioned.

I forwarded the decreasing issue as http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=336152 as fixing it (as a small fix) would be more appropriate for the release state of GNOME and Ubuntu.

I have an answer from upstream: "They are independent. The one in the main dialogue is the default setting, which you can override per-language-group in the Detailed dialogue."

This is beginning to make sense to me, as you might have to increase the font size for an Arab locale (I'm just making something up...)

This bug is now about the UI not making this clear then, rather than the settings acting independantly.
