The issue with changing the font size effecting layout is that it causes the PDF to reflow. Reflowing doesn't work well with tables/etc. If you change the font size with zoom (once it is available in new firmware), then the reflow/layout problem shouldn't be an issue.

Horizontal layout (landscape) and margins are the same thing. You can get rid of the margins today using reflow, but that has the same trouble with special layouts. Using zoom for that as well will solve the landscape margin problem.

As far as the dictionary, Matthijs isn't saying that it can't be done, he's just saying that the way they had planned on doing it didn't work out for various reasons, and that they would need to re-design/develop it before it can be added. It just won't be available on the next firmware (which already has a lot of things in it).
