If you
+ are experiencing issues with the font size or layout of Jalview's
+ GUI, you can try changing Jalview's 'Look and feel' by
+ specifying a custom system property 'laf' on startup (see setting the JVM's memory for
+ instructions on how to do this for your platform).
For the

+ The currently configured look and feel is logged to Jalview's console.
+ Once the look and feel has been changed, it will be stored in
+ Jalview's .jalview_properties file for future Jalview sessions.
