Bug#830174: gnome-font-viewer: font samples are too large

Package: gnome-font-viewer
Version: 3.20.2-1
Severity: normal

gnome-font-viewer displays a grid of font samples.  Each sample
(showing "Aa") takes up about 4×4cm on the screen. This is way too
large, it is very distracting.

The problem likely comes from the associated tool
gnome-thumbnail-font, which specifies a default thumbnail size of 128.
This size may be fine for inspection of one single font, but it is too
large for the grid shown by gnome-font-viewer.

Half the size would probably be about right, size 48 or 64, say.
