Yes, but what i'm saying is, the font size of the _body_ doesn't change
when the mac.listctrl.always_use_generic is set to 0. 

There are two cases:

i) mac.listctrl.always_use_generic = 1: The font can be resized in the
header and the body, but the header cells don't expand to accommodate
the font. (I understand that this is because the header control can't be
drawn at a different height). 

ii) mac.listctrl.always_use_generic = 1: The body cells expand
vertically, but the actual font size in the body cells stays constant.
(AFAICT, this is a bug. Surely the text should expand inside the body
cells and stay the same size in the header cells?)
