    Used disc space is bigger then size of all files.


    In the screenshot I see that these files are allocated for twice the size estimated as the actual file.


    If this is true:

    "A file that is 4098 bytes is 2 bytes larger than a file allocation unit so it will require two file allocation units which means that it will take up 8196 Bytes 8 KB"


    Then I don't understand this.

    Below is hard drive info.

    Line spacing when using bigger fonts

    When choosing a bigger font in Windows Phone 8.1 Settings (Ease of Access) the font gets bigger but the line spacing does not adapt accordingly. Characters as 'y' or 'g' almost overlap into the next line. This leads to a very poor readability. Line spacing
    should also increase when choosing a bigger font.

    The font size setting should be considered at least in the Windows phone settings pages.

    The attached screenshots shows the linespacing issue:
