No you don't.. . All you needed to do was the following:

1) Post an email asking people about the status of your ticket.
2) Point out that the easy fix for this was to change the font-size
from 70% to 100% but you don't know how that will affect other parts
on things you don't have like large monitors or hand-held devices.

Tada.. many emails and time saved.
