I plan to use the L&F for the OS that its running under...  i.e. Mac on Mac,
Windows on Windows, Metal wherever, but...

When I use Windows L&F on Windows, my complaint is that the font is too big.
You may call it nitpicking but if I'm striving for a Windows L&F I prefer to
do it correctly.  It looks like Arial 10pt.  I would prefer MS Sans Serif
8pt.  I can live with Arial 8pt.  I can do that by setting the font on each
control but I would rather write a single line of code or a method to tweak
the Windows L&F and then let all my controls get that setting.  It may get a
little goofy if I switch VMs but I have pretty tight control on what VM my
users will use.  Besides, one line of code or a single method call is easy
to remove if I decide it was a bad idea later on. Any ideas?

I stand corrected.
