Re: Re: huge font in column view

[Carsten Dominik <carsten.dominik@gmail.com>]

Hi Sebastian,

well, you org-column face says that it wants to be 122/10 points, so  
that is already relatively big.  It is possible (but I am not sure)  
that the factor 1.8 you have set for level on faces still shines  
through as well, but I don't think this should be the case.

You need to find out how the 122 gets into the definition for org- 
column.
