I think this is definitely a step in the right direction! Great job!
Unfortunately I get some weirdness when I make the board very large, save it and quit. When I open it up again, the clocks have way too much vertical space (Screenshot included). I am also somewhat concerned with what will happen with OSX’s fullscreen feature. Where it actually gets the menubar out of the way so the board is the largest it can be on your screen. I expect what will happen is if it is saved and then opened up again (which will be before fullscreen mode is started), you will always start the board with the bottom of the board below the screen. Not sure if there is anything you can do about that. Although of course with the clocks the way they are at large boards, I don’t get to fully try it out.

More progress:
I now also adapt clock and message font on sizing the board window. Downside is that this would lose you any font change you made at the current board size, if you had not already saved settings. This because each (windowFont,boardSize) combination has an entry in a table, with a 'valid' flag which keeps track of whether it was set during parsing of command-line options (incl. settings files). When the settings are saved, only the entry for the boardSize at that time is updated to the font actually in use, (and marked valid), after which all valid fonts are saved in the settings file.
I guess we could copy a font to the table for the current size whenever the user changed it through the Fonts dialog. Then it would be remembered even if you changed the window before saving.
Another problem is how to treat all other fonts. The are stored separately for each size in the settings file. But currently I don't adapt them to the new board-window size. This means they would 'leak' to another size when you save settings after sizing. One way to prevent it would be to adapt the other fonts also on sizing. Or not copy the other fonts back to the font table at all before saving the latter with the settings. But I guess if the user did not change the font for the other windows, he must have been happy with it. Unless of course the other windows were closed.
I guess a user would only want the fonts in other windows to change when he buys a new monitor, or otherwise changes screen resolution. In normal day-to-day sizing he would probably want it to stay fixed. That means that making it leak to other board sizes is actually an advantage, because he only has to set them one time for the board size he happens to use first. And then he will always keep those fonts, no matter how he sizes the board, and each next time the board will open as he closed it, same size and same font. The last- chosen font will always follow him until he changes it again.
