Isn't it completely up to the theme to determine whether to use the font 
sizes specified in Myth's frontend setup?

AIUI, the theme can specify "<size:(small|big)>" elements to specify the 
font size to use when the user chooses small or big for 
"ThemeFontSizeType" (or, if the user specifies "default", the Myth uses 
small for TV's and big for monitors).  However, some themes may not 
specify a size to use for both small and big but instead simply specify 
a size that's always used.

Also, I'm pretty sure the settings for "Big|Medium|Small font" are used 
by QT, but not by the themes.

If the font sizes specified by your theme are not to your liking, you'll 
need to modify the sizes in your theme's "*ui.xml" files.
