The font size should look the same on the lock and login screens if you've synced your Plasma settings to SDDM using System Settings > Startup and Shutdown > Login Screen (SDDM) > Apply Plasma Settings. Can you do that, or do it again? See if that fixes the issue for you. OK, the plasma settings were not synced. I did that now, and in fact, it became a bit better, but still the fonts are too big. I attached a few photos from my mobile (very unprofessional, but I don't know how to do screenshots of these screens). Created attachment 147034 [details]

Thanks. What you are seeing is an intentional design change. We thought the names were too small before. However with your screenshots I see that the true source of distress is that the size change now make your name get elided! That's silly. I'll fix it. Yes, the elision of our last names is definitely a problem, too. However, I think the font and widget size of the lock screen are perfect, so this is IMO what would be the best design for the login screen, too. As big as it is now, it's just a bit exaggerated. This could be a result of some scaling that the X server applies for my High-DPI monitor (4k 32"), too. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/1488 Git commit a630dfb6b6bbe6edc4a0246f309ca6632f763711 by Nate Graham. Committed on 23/02/2022 at 23:24. Pushed by ngraham into branch 'master'. SDDM theme: stop eliding people's names so aggressively When more than one user is shown on the login screen, username labels are limited to the width of the avatar so they don't overlap one another. However they are not allowed to become multi-line strings, so they can get elided if they are not somewhat short. This was worsened recently by a change in Plasma 5.24 to increase the size of the username labels, which shortened the amount of text that can be seen without eliding. This commit fixes that problem by allowing constrained username labels to become multi-line strings with up to 3 lines, and adjusting the surrounding layout to visually accommodate this.
