Running the KCM via kcmshell5 shows additional OK/Cancel buttons and e.g. checking 'Force font DPI' will visibly flash the OK button while Apply remains inactive, however using the OK button has no effect. After restarting the KCM, old values are visible again. Since I wanted to test Qt 5.14.0 scaling after applying b31852c4ca from QTBUG-80967, I removed ~/.config/kcmfonts (from tty, in between two sessions) which certainly worked to reset the values. However the above behavior remained. For some reason though, the new file created by kcm_fonts had set `forceFontDPI=144` which is weird.

Make some alternations to the fonts selection, uncheck the "Anti-Aliasing: Enable", then check it ON and after that uncheck it once again then hit the Apply button. From now on you can edit the settings as usually. This bug should be fixed for the 5.18 LTS release, I think there are many people who make custom fonts settings, as the default ones are not very comfortable and easy to read ... 1906004 7 kde 2020-01-28 10:01:16 +0000 *** Bug 416847 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** 1907369 8 awilfox 2020-02-03 18:39:13 +0000 We're seeing this in Adélie Linux as well, on 5.17.90 with Qt 5.12.6.

Out of curiosity, what kind of screen do you have?

That is why I went to system settings to also find this bug. I found that the fonts of gtk3-themed applications are defaulting to one size a font too small since the 5.18 update. I went to /home/config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini to increase the font size of such apps by 1 pt, and now they look fine on my 1080p screen. Unfortunately, Plasma forces the font size back to the small size each time I log in, so I keep having to manually switch it each time... Which is why I wish there was a clear way to block this overriding of fonts. 1909424 32 linux 2020-02-13 00:16:39 +0000 (In reply to lanstar454 from comment #31) > Unfortunately, Plasma forces the font size back to the small size each time > I log in, so I keep having to manually switch it each time...
