Hi Jeff,
The Lazarus upgrade has now gone live, so the Tools website should soon be looking better. But first an earlier workaround needs to be undone. Could you (or someone else with commits rights to the website) DELETE all of the following lines from _projectCommon.php:
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
#midcolumn { margin-top: 5px; }
body { font-size: small; }
</STYLE>
After that change, the font size setting should be honoured, and preserved across pages regardless of theme. I also added the font size control to Lazarus, down at the bottom of the page as there wasn't room at the top.
Regards,
Matt.

Yes, I've just confirmed that there are a number of
recent changes to
the Phoenix theme which aren't in Lazarus. I'm pulling these across
now and testing it out. I've raised a bug to attach my Lazarus update
to:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=165340
I suggest we revisit the issues after that's gone in.
Matt.
