This *might* be because check-box lists have been done in several different
ways over time (because the OS didn't support them internally until
relatively recently)
The old fashioned way was to provide your own check-box images, which
unless you did very complicated things would always have been a fixed size
in pixels. (There are also two kinds of list-like controls (listbox and
listctrl), which are completely different in implementation but might look
similar, further adding to confusion.)
TSVN uses the more modern option, which is to set a flag on the list
control and let the OS draw the checkboxes, which it does using its own
dark magic, that I suspect uses the same font (Marlett) as is used to do
things like the maximise, minimise and close buttons on the title bar. It
looks possible that some bug in the listview control is confusing the
window title font size with the font size it should use when drawing a list.
I'm afraid that this probably can't be fixed in TSVN, without an enormous
amount of work, which probably won't really be seen as a priority by Steve
(who writes almost all the code), or me (who could write code but doesn't
so isn't any use anyway).
