New iteration of UI Options wireframes

[Gary Thompson]

#1 - What is the desire for using a checkbox instead?  For a preference 
where the options are Yes or No, the radio buttons with explicit yes and 
no options seems to be a better interface than having only a checkbox 
for Yes, where the user has to assume that unchecking means No.  I 
suppose the label could be switched to Use (or something similar) 
instead of Yes, which might make more sense with a checkbox, but why the 
checkbox?

#2 - Thanks for reading my mind Jacob.  I am assuming that no one will 
want to make the text spacing less than 100% ("normal"), where the 
slider handle is flush left because that is the minimum value.
