Question: Why does Text appear like 12 pt, with a style-set?

For many years I have used my own Style Set in Maple, mainly by adding a few extra heading styles (typically coloured headings). This has worked very well.

In Maple 2026, the default body text font has been changed to DejaVu Sans. Since the mathematical notation is still displayed in a serif math font (for obvious reasons), I feel that 12 pt DejaVu Sans appears noticeably larger than the mathematics because of its relatively large x-height. To my eyes, 11 pt gives a much more harmonious balance.

I therefore tried to change the built-in Text style from 12 pt to 11 pt.

However, I noticed something very strange.

When I open Style Management, select Text, and click Modify, the Character Style dialog already shows the font size as 11 pt (see the first screenshot). Nevertheless, when I switch to Text mode and start typing, the body text is still created as 12 pt, and the toolbar also reports a font size of 12 pt.

If I create my own custom style (for example, text11) with a font size of 11 pt, it works exactly as expected.

Is the built-in Text style intentionally overridden somewhere by the default Style Set, or is this a bug?

For comparison, I have also attached a second screenshot showing the visual difference between 12 pt and 11 pt body text. In my opinion, the 11 pt version blends much better with the mathematical notation.
