The System Prefs lets you set the size for default font settings. Many 
apps use that. In others (like Firefox) I just set it in the application 
prefs. Since MC has no similar prefs setting, the 11 point font was 
sticky unless I manually made the change in the IDE myself.

In many cases, OS X apps use the "large" 13-point size. That works okay 
for me.
