We have another report in 416119. I can't reproduce on openSUSE Tumbleweed with packages compiled from source, however. *** Bug 416119 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I also have this issue on Arch Linux. I can reproduce it with plasma compiled from source. That said, also 'Defaults' and 'Reset' button are never activated no matter what. I don't see the behavior mentioned in the duplicate bug, changing anti-aliasing does nothing, as with all other options. Testing on Kubuntu Daily Build 27.01.2019: I have found that when following these steps you are once again allowed to make and save any changes to the fonts configuration. 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 ... *** Bug 416847 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** We're seeing this in Adélie Linux as well, on 5.17.90 with Qt 5.12.6. Additionally, the dropdowns for i.e. "Sub-pixel rendering" don't show any items other than the values currently chosen. Making the dropdowns active and then using the arrow keys, the values can be changed. (But the values cannot be saved, as previously described in this bug.) If this is a separate bug, I can file another. Fixed with https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-desktop.git/commit/?id=0a107dcbe9fc7555803ef1d60bb29ee0acf65c9e Not fixed for me with 5.18.0, `Apply` is disabled whatever I change. Not fixed here either. Any workaround? *** Bug 417474 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 417450 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 417423 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The issue is caused by this commit https://cgit.kde.org/plasma-desktop.git/commit/?id=11092af79680595211d3d22baade811bc1765cd3 KCM Fonts ConfigModule to ManagedConfigModule *** Bug 417487 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can also confirm that this bug is still present on Plasma 5.18 running on the lastest user edition of KDE Neon. I guess we're learning that a lot of people change the default font. :) (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #19) > I guess we're learning that a lot of people change the default font. :) Or that fonts in some apps (e.g. Firefox) changed after upgrading to 5.18.0 and first thing we try to fix it was look in the font configuration.

You might want to confirm https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=416993 (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #19) > I guess we're learning that a lot of people change the default font. :) Hack 9 is just a tad too small :-) (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #19) > I guess we're learning that a lot of people change the default font. :) I really like the default fonts, but they're too small on my screen, so it's less of the aesthetics and more of a usability issue (at least for me).

Out of curiosity, what kind of screen do you have? What's the size and resolution, and are you scaling anything at all? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #19) > I guess we're learning that a lot of people change the default font. :) I've never liked the look of Noto. Liberation Sans is much less distracting for UI elements, for me. Managed to reproduce this issue, I'll start experimenting now with the source code to see if I can come up with a fix. Gave up trying to fix the current code here, but I tested Jonathan Riddell's comment and can confirm that commit indeed seems to be the starting point of this issue - versions of the source code files for this area in System Settings before that commit was made work fine. I have fun here with 4k Monitors ;) Waiting for the fix :) Thanks a lot! The strange thing is. On an existing profile the fontsize is ok, changing is not available. That's why I thought, i set the fontoption directly in the file ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals but the options will not be set. Logout and in did also not help, so should there be any special command to set new options in such file? I'm having the same issue on Arch as well.

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.

Which is why I > wish there was a clear way to block this overriding of fonts. Yes a workaround: chmod 444 /home/config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini Confirmed on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Confirmed this issue on Arch Linux. I implemented a first fix https://phabricator.kde.org/D27384 you can download fix there: https://phabricator.kde.org/D27384?download=true I ill be glad if someone with this bug can confirm the fix solve the problem Thanks, Benjamin (In reply to Benjamin Port from comment #35) > I implemented a first fix > https://phabricator.kde.org/D27384 > > you can download fix there: https://phabricator.kde.org/D27384?download=true > > I ill be glad if someone with this bug can confirm the fix solve the problem > > Thanks, > Benjamin Building it now with your diff on my machine which has the issue. *** Bug 417587 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** The fix works for me The fix works for me too (Slackware).

Thanks Benjamin.

What's the size and > resolution, and are you scaling anything at all? Sorry for the late response. I'm currently running an ultra-wide 2560*1080 monitor. The main font I was struggling with was the 9pt Hack fixed width font. Thanks for fixing the issue! When will this issue be fixed in neon user edition? Given that the version including the fix was released today, I'd say the answer is "as soon as you perform an update." :) (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #49) > Given that the version including the fix was released today, I'd say the > answer is "as soon as you perform an update." :) Got an update just now, still can't apply font changes. neon developper edition, does not have plasma 5.18.1 yet : So neither does neon user edition. As of me typing latest neon Version is : $ apt show plasma-desktop | grep Version: Version: 4:5.18.0+p18.04+git20200218.0030-0 (Irony is kubuntu ppa has 5.18.1) talentlcy@hotmail.com please check you have updated to plasma 5.18.1 (in about system for instance) before giving feedback. Your last update did not concern Plasma. Please verify that you are using Plasma 5.18.1 (not 5.18.0) and that you have rebooted your system.

But why is kubuntu newer than neon , shouldn't neon to have the latest version ?🤣 (In reply to talentlcy from comment #53) > OK, my system is neon user edition, and plasma version is 5.18.0. But why > is kubuntu newer than neon , shouldn't neon to have the latest version ?🤣 Neon are upgrading to Qt 5.14.1, and the Plasma update was queued behind doing that. Makes sense for it to be, as several parts of Plasma need to be recompiled for new Qt versions anyway. (Offtopic + advertising) Maybe KDE Neon and Kubuntu have the reputation of updating the first, but the patch was applied in Arch Linux 5 days ago, and we have plasma desktop Plasma 5.18.1 since yesterday, just after the release hehe (In reply to Iyán Méndez Veiga from comment #55) > (Offtopic + advertising) > Maybe KDE Neon and Kubuntu have the reputation of updating the first, but > the patch was applied in Arch Linux 5 days ago If we are going to do that, then FYI it was applied in Kubuntu 5 days ago as well, and copied to backports. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plasma-desktop/4:5.18.0-0ubuntu3 Was fixed in Slackware 6 days ago even... https://git.slackware.nl/ktown/commit/?id=d443f4f78cd553a37326f005a90b5a8f8030bf3c as we are skipping the .1 release. Finally, after a bunch of updates just now, kde neon was upgraded to 5.18.1, and everything is fine now. Thank everyone. It works perfectly here on NEON. Very Thanks!!! :) Even after the bug was solved I could not make any change in the font settings stick. The file ~/.config/kcmfonts had the "immutable" flag set. I removed the flag and now font settings update normally as I change them. What could have caused it? |
