So does anyone else think the font size should be increased on Mac OS X?
If so, to what size? Something that's close to the rest of the OS X
interface would be good.

The OS X system font for the menu at the top of the screen seems to be
"Lucida Grande", so I suggest the following .gtkrc-2.0:

style "user-font"
{
         font_name = "Lucida Grande 13"
}
widget_class "*" style "user-font"

Thanks for the suggestion. Future Mac packages will have a gtkrc
specifying Lucida Grande.

I tried font sizes of 12pt and 14pt as well (on a 1280x1024 monitor):

For reference, here's the original version without .gtkrc-2.0:

As most other Mac applications tend to use quite small fonts, I would
prefer 12pt over 13pt, but then the font size in the "Nmap Ouput" window
is a bit too small IMHO. Could it be changed separately?

The included gtkrc uses a font size of 12, as I agree that blends with
other applications the best. It might be possible to chnage the size of
the Nmap output separately, maybe by giving a name to the output widget
so that it can be addressed in gtkrc. But maybe it would be better done
as part of the syntax highlighting. I'll have to think about it.

The new gtkrc will not be used if you have a ~/.gtkrc-2.0, so anyone
preferring different settings can set them in that file.
