Before I get to your question, please don't top-post. It makes it very hard to 
follow threads and see who wrote what. Post your reply below the message to 
which you are replying, and cut it down in length if necessary. I've fixed 
this up in my reply, and as you can see it's nice and easy for anyone having 
the same problem to follow reading the mailing list archives, but it's a lot 
of extra work that I don't need. Even more importantly, keep replies on-list 
so that others can share any findings.

You're probably right about the warning, but it shouldn't matter. You 
shouldn't be concerned so much about switching the theme as with switching 
the font. Run switch2, click the plus sign, check the checkbox to the left of 
"Use font", and click Browse to choose a typeface and suitable size, then OK 
and Apply.
