Apparently, I don't have the appropriate Arial font installed (I don't care much about proportional fonts). With the fonts supplied on my system it scales to about one fourth of the remaining text. If the copyright notice is of any importance here, it should have the same size as the remainder of the text I think. BTW, I'd prefer calling the "GNU Emacs" buffer either "*splash-screen*" or " *splash-screen*".
