In many of these cases, I hand-formatted fields to fit them, as the margins
were too large.  In fact, I set a margin custom property, and ever rev-bump
of the code it loops through and resets those.
I actually have the defaults for those set by font size and, iirc, font,
for the ones I use more commonly.
Looping through is easy; it's getting the exact right fit, which goes up
*and* down as font size increases in pre-8, is tricky.
