I have found that in Mathematica 7 the default font size for "Message" and "MSG" is 11 instead of 10 used in version 5.2. And FontFamily is set to CurrentValue["PanelFontFamily"] which is Tahoma in my case (in v.5 Courier was used that looks much better for my eyes). I have read the David Park's StyleSheetNotes and tried to use his methods for modifying Core.nb but I have failed: the original StyleSheets does not contain the drop-down button "Choose a Style" and do not allow any changes. So, there additional information is required. As I understand, It would be better to set CurrentValue ["PanelFontFamily"] to Courier instead of setting FontFamily to Courier in these particular cases (I think Courier looking much readable than Tahoma at all). Is there a way to do this? > I've also modified these styles, and can send my stylesheet if you > interested I am interested. But what is the difference?
