As you might infer from reading the ckmker.bwr file, Mac Kermit has been
disinherited for quite some time, for lack of volunteer programmers and
funding for professional ones. The font question is discussed at length
in the ckmker.bwr and accompanying ckmker.fon file. The gist is that
this aspect of Mac Kermit (among many others) needs a complete overhaul.
We even have a new font created expressly for Mac Kermit, but the
program was never coded to use it.
The short answer to your question is that the only sizes for the built-in
font that are usable are 9 and 18.
