Yes the user should have to learn to edit a theme in order to make
that change.  This is a specific one of a kind modification that
anybody can do in the text editor of their choice.  "Learning" how to
do this is not a major inconvenience.

I say if font sizes were adjustable via the mythfrontend GUI it would
take the user longer to perform the modification.  GUI's with five+
layer deep sub-menus, slider bars, check boxes, ratio buttons, etc.
take a lot longer to adjust than a simple XML formated text file.
