Hey lindameimei,

Plus! has been known to mess up with Asian characters in Contact List :( (Check this article in ChrisTorng's Group) I'm from Taiwan and in my computer I get smaller font size of the characters. (I reported this bug back in May 2005...Patchou said he would check this but I never saw it fixed - but you can wait for Plus! Live to see if this glitch persists)

Anyway, if the cause of your problem is the same as mine, trying to disable this in Plus! might lessen the problem:
In main Messenger window:
Plus!\ Preferences -> Contact List -> Display formatting attributes in the contact list

Alternatively, maybe you'd try not to use Comic Sans MS as your display font...try Sin Si Ming Ti or MingLiU, with a smaller font size? (Hope you know what I'm talking about :P)
Also turning down the DPI in your display settings might help too...

damn... I didn't know this was still happening, sorry about that. I'm counting on you Mnjul to let me know if the bug will still be there in Messenger Plus! Live Beta :).
