size of text not syncing in commentaries and dictionaries

I notice when syncing commentaries (and dictionaries) the font doesn't sync. I find I have to go into each and size up the font under View. Should not these sync when each commentary and dictionary are linked? Or have I slipped off the rails and missed something obvious?

    You've slipped off the rails and noticed something obvious.

    Been that way for years.

    But!

    There's always a work-around in the land of Logosia.  Instead of using the links, use a multi-view (whose font setting ties to the leader, forcing obstreporous, obnoxious, and obstinate commentaries etc to behave).

    It's not always a solution however.  We are talking Logosia.

    Added for others, from Andrew's good (repeated) point (I think I got it right):

    Once a resource font is changed to a non-default setting, the global font setting (in Settings) will not impact that resource.  So, imagine, for a commentary, you've worked your way thru the whole canon (commentary books), carefully changing the font.  Then later, you change your mind.

    Thank you for that profound response. I'm more surprised that I noticed this just lately, thinking page font was always linked, thus making all the same size. Whatever, thank you for straightening me out on this.

    I used to battle it, all the time, in my big layout.  Every time I'd change a Bible reference, there'd be a commentary whose font was completely 'wrong'.  Now days, the commentaries are nicely behaved ... I think I use maybe 4 or 5 multiviews in my layout (commentaries, targums, dictionaries, lexicons, and so forth).
