I have to agree about the text. The default font and/or line spacing makes it more difficult for me to read. I haven't messed around with trying to change the font from the default yet, but my previous experience with trying to enlarge the text font is that it doesn't stick and has to be constantly reset.
I'm not seeing the problem with the quest checking. All of mine are unchecked and I am able to just check the quest I want to display. It's an additional step more than before, but not too much extra trouble.
