  in the preferences/Display menu, there are 2 lines related to OpenGl:
   the first one is labeled "video display". As I understand it, this
   means that the choice between X11 and OpenGL is actually for the video
   preview.
   the second one is "enable OpenGl support", which is rather confusing,
   as one may think that the "video display" setting was enough.
   In fact, I discovred that after checking this box, I also get
   the messsage
       "[initGUI]  OpenGL activated, initializing"...
   This means that my character's size problem is not related to OpenGl,
   but to something else. God knows what, but also may-be one of you.
