Thanks Alex.

I guess the version of Idle currently provided by Debian is too old at
version 0.4 to recognize ~/.idle or the [EditorWindow] section.  I
downloaded and tried version .05 and still have the same small font.
Since I use Debian, I'm afraid that installing Python later than 1.5.2
will likely  break several scripts if I jump to 1.6 or a CVS version.
So I guess I'll wait until version 2.0 is formally released and
incorporated into Debian a year to 18 months from now. ;-)

Thanks again.
