Dear all,

Thank you for your comments.

I agree, 2 is a minimal value.  Unless there are more "votes" for 3, 
let's propose this new default value = 2 for Scilab 6.1.1.

So do i. But technically speaking, setting a different default value for 
the title is much harder (to me. I got lost in the code..).
As well, detecting when the input is some LaTeX content and then 
increase the default font size is technically more complicated.
Let's start with a simple but urgent improvement.

Right. I am afraid that some "final touch" will anyway most often be 
required, depending on the Reviewer, the Editor, etc.

That's something else, to be discussed in another thread.

Thanks
