Created attachment 123599 [details] screenshot of clipped fonts The bounding box of fonts is calculated wrongly by KDE so that font output often gets clipped. This is particularely visible in console but can be observed throughout the whole of KDE when it comes to alert/message boxes. See for the screenshot.
The problem seems in deed be related to the different pixel density of my integrated and of my external display. When I move console from one display to the other the font size is adjusted but the font bounding boxes are not. That kind of adjustment is quite a cool feature though it still needs some bugfix. I wonder whether there is some way to switch the feature off for the meantime.

Created attachment 123601 [details] unadjusted bounding boxes when moving to the integrated display The system start menu is now on the external display so it starts the application correctly on that monitor. However when I move it to the integrated display then the bounding boxes remain too large (integrated: FullHD, external: 4K)
I have selected force DPI 128 at systemsettings5 and now the problem is gone. That setting is necessary in order to have a not too small font size for Firefox. However I would welcome the KDE internal font size adjustment for KDE apps as soon as that problem is fixed. There should be a setting 'force DPI for non-KDE apps'.

According to the screenshot, even QPushButton is affected. If you can reproduce this issue with a recent Qt version (Qt 5.12.4 or later), please report this issue directly to Qt developers via https://bugreports.qt.io/ You could try the Tumbleweed Live ISOs for testing.
