Bug Description

Binary package hint: empathy

I'd like to be able to ctrl-zoom or specify a larger font size in chat windows.

I run my system at either 1920x1200 or 1920x1080 and none of my systemwide font settings affect the size of chat text in empathy.

This makes for a very squinty experience, even though the rest of my desktop is scaled appropriately.
