you can adjust the font and its size only globally for screen and printer
separately. Go to |Display|Screen font| or |Display|Printer font|. So all labels are
of this font and size. Only when the star labels are set to "Bayer" (on or auto)
they will have a greek character set. But this also changes its size together with
the other labels.

Clear skies
