Since these font size changes also change the size of the Reader GUI font, at larger font sizes destroying its usability, the new Reader GUI is, for them, and I'm one of "them", an absulute non-starter. For me and other visually-challenged users the new GUI is a Calibre-killer.

I assist several other people in care facilities with these issues and just finished reinstalling 3.48.0 with a warning not to update Calibre any more. They were so grateful to be able to read their books again.
What exactly in Calibre 4.4 is a problem? Changing the font size in the viewer does not change the GUI font size. I've just tested this with 4.4 and the only thing that changes is the text size of the book. The new GUI works here with Windows 10.
