Oh yes, but only to make it smaller, I prefer mine '12% smaller' than 
default, but the 'sans' font I think, is how chord names should be 
displayed.

I know it's a preference and I don't think the feta font has anything to 
do with it - at least from my perspective - but more than when you have 
a lead sheet or a score with chords on it plus all the other 'gumpf' 
that is usually in a serif font (title, composer, arranger, tempo, dim.. 
cresc.. etc) they blend in when they are anything but sans.

When I see serif used for chord names it's like someone using 'zapf 
chancery' for body text because it's 'fancy' :)

Although I have to say I have seen chord names in 'comic sans' on 
printed material I have played in my Wind Band and actually while that 
sounds dreadful, when you're playing some old time rag or an old 
traditional song that's about 'jolly' things, comic sans chord names 
seem some how apt!

Have fun
