Title: The font in the player window is much too small

The font in the player window is much too small. I can't find a way to adjust it.

Generally MC's fonts are adjusted in the Options > Tree & View > Select font... at the bottom, where you can adjust the font used and the font size. But it's mostly an all-or-nothing sort of deal, so it'll adjust the font and size of everything used in MC (other than things specified in the skin's main.xml file).

For clarification: MC 34 above
MC 33 in this answer

It seems that the size changes parallel to the font size in MC 33.
In MC 34, it always remains the same size.

Both players: Sans Regular 16

Both set to use the exact same font/size?

I couldn't locate a font called "Sans Regular" but the OpenSans   font does something really odd in MC on windows and the mac - whilst changing the font-size either raises the size of the text elsewhere in the Main-UI not only does it not change the font-size in the player bar it is always using a font-size much smaller than the text size.

Since there is nothing in the main.xml for the Black on Black skin, or the main.xml in the Default Skin folder controlling the size of the font used in the PlayerBar there has to be something in the Skinning Engine making sure that Text at a Size that would not fit in the PlayerBar Window is forcibly reduced in size.

The only thing I can suggest/recommend is try switching to a font and a font size that doesn't display the same tendency/problem.
