Hi, Racket Discourse.

I found a bug in the code for the `append-editor-font-menu-items` procedure from `racket/gui`. The functionality for making fonts smaller by one size is missing a negative sign.

Compare the increment,

```scheme
(add-change-size bigger
                 '("+1" "+2" "+4" "+8" "+16" "+32")
                 '(1 2 4 8 16 32)
                 '(1 1 1 1 1 1))

```

as opposed to the decrement.

```scheme
(add-change-size smaller
                 '("-1" "-2" "-4" "-8" "-16" "-32")
                 '(1 -2 -4 -8 -16 -32)
                 '(1 1 1 1 1 1))

```

I found these snippets in the `gui/gui-lib/mred/private/editor.rkt` file in [here](https://github.com/racket/gui/blob/2f552b6ce9910d425261b1d18f9201f0acf9daf9/gui-lib/mred/private/editor.rkt#L45).

What is the etiquette for such a situation? I've never reported/fixed a bug before.

I would think filing an “Issue” on GitHub is fine. If you have time to contribute a fix, you could send a PR.

Thanks, @benknoble. Sometimes a little hand-holding goes quite far 💯

1. You could just open an issue.

2. Or, you could submit a pull request.
