Created attachment 120692 [details] Compare krita menu text size with preferred size for other apps: Firefox shown. SUMMARY: Font used in menus and dialogs is too small for my vision difficulties STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start krita OBSERVED RESULT Menu and dialog fonts is too small. EXPECTED RESULT Want a slider to change menu and dialog font size. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux: uname -a gives "Linux blackhole 4.9.0-9-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.9.168-1 (2019-04-12) x86_64 GNU/Linux" GNOME Version: Version 3.22.2 Qt: qtchooser -l 4 5 default qt4-x86_64-linux-gnu qt4 qt5-x86_64-linux-gnu qt5
I think this is supposed to be up to the window manager. On KDE Plasma there are separate settings for Qt and GTK applications.
Are you using the appimage or distribution packages? Krita takes the size for the text for the menu and dialog boxes from the environment, or rather, Qt does. We don't set that ourselves, but leave that to the system. If I change the size using KDE Plasma's settings manager, Krita changes, too. I don't have Gnome, so I cannot test with that.
If changing the font settings in Gnome doesn't work, you could try to create or edit a text file in the .config directory called kdeglobals. Add the following section: [General] fixed=Hack,12,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0,Regular font=Noto Sans,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 menuFont=Noto Sans,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 smallestReadableFont=Noto Sans,8,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 toolBarFont=Noto Sans,10,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0 And change the font name and the first number to something that works for you.
Did this work out for you in the end?
