RE: Measure distance "show dimension" annotation option

Go ahead, but this is one of the consequences of creating software which is 'Windows compliant'.  These objects, including dialogs, menus, and the various on-screen messages and such, are generated using Microsoft tools which leverages the global Windows settings for things as fonts, colors, accents, etc.  At least we provide you the ability to changr the size of the toolbar and menu icons.
