 * why is the font for the editor / tinymce so huge?
 * I had some time to figure out that there is an editor-style.css in the package
   and that I can change the font-size
 * .mceContentBody {font-size: 20px;}
 * that is too huge for writing normal text, the font-size for Headings is frightening
   huge…
 * why?
 * An editor needs space to write text, he is not painting the letters like in first
   class at school …

 * The font sizes in the editing screen match the font size of the text when viewed
   on the website. Is [this](http://cl.ly/image/3r260w3R2K3d) what it looks like
   to you?

 * yes, and that is, in my opinion, far too big! If you only write 2 sentences in
   a post, it might work… but if you really write text it is horror… ;=)

 * I can see what you mean. I imagine it could be bothersome. They really encourage
   themes to have the same sizes in the editor and on the front end, so I don’t 
   think we’ll change that. Do you use the full screen editor? That might help somewhat.
   That is, if you haven’t already customized your editor styles already. 🙂

 * I have customized my css for the childtheme not to use so huge fonts (I want 
   text, not pictures on my site ;=)) and I have edited the editor-stylesheet as
   well.

 * Glad to hear you got it sorted out, Avantart. We’ll keep this feedback in mind
   going forward.
