Much better, thanks! The default sizes are still a bit large compared
to version 1 (so my answers are still swimming in space a little), but
I could certainly get used to it.

Hello!

I was wondering if it's still possible to change the size of only non-
latin fonts? 1.2.2. had this option but I haven't figured out how to
do this in 2 yet..

Here's how to get this to work:

* clone card types from the Vocabulary card type, and call them e.g. Thai and
Chinese
* Convert your cards to those card types using the right-click popup menu from
the card browser
* In 'Set card appearance', you can set for your Thai card type's 'Foreign
word' e.g. 'my_thai_font', size 20, and for Chinese you can choose
my_chinese_font, size 28

Note how this is much more flexible than the non-latin fonts option from 1.x,
because you can have different fonts and different sizes for different languages.

However, since you're the second one to bring something like this up, I start
to wonder if this is not overly complicated/too much work for many people.

Therefore, I'm contemplating bringing back the non-latin fonts option from
1.x, but having it only operate on all card types except the ones you clone
from Vocabulary (and making it clear that that's the case in the dialog).

What do you think?

Thanks for the feedback!

For me the option to change the size of non-roman fonts in the
previous version worked perfectly. This method is unnecessarily
complex at least for me.

btw, thanks for the great software!

Yes, as mentioned in the Changelog, this is not yet implemented.

Cheers,
