[Qgis-user] Font issue

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

Hi,

I cannot reproduce this on my systems.
I reckon that you have a HDPI screen on windows, and searching at the issuetracker on "font size" several issues pop up, eg
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues/63065

Are you able to create an issue on
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues
to provide more information about your exact setup, and ways to reproduce this?

Note that QGIS 3.x is based on Qt5 and this kind (hi res) setups wasn't around at that time.
I know that there has been a lot of work on font-scaling and handling hdpi by Nyall.

Would it be possible for you to install the experimental latest version of QGIS, which is build on Qt6:
https://qgis.org/downloads/QGISQT6-OSGeo4W-3.40.11-1.msi (thinking you want LTR)
or maybe even latest:
https://qgis.org/downloads/QGISQT6-OSGeo4W-3.44.3-1.msi
and do some testing with those?

If these still have issues then please(!) create issues because then even the latest and greatest version needs love and work...

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

However, for the Settings->Options dialog, the larger fonts have made it unusable.  See the included screen shot.
