Created attachment 157096 [details] far_from_intersecting SUMMARY If I select a non-standard font with a large size for the "General" setting, dolphin's icon view will space things very far apart even though text is nowhere near close to intersecting. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install font "SF Pro" (from apple) or similar. 2. Go to System Settings -> Appearance -> Global Theme -> Fonts -> General -> select "SF Pro Display" with size 12. 3. Open Dolphin, zoom it a bit out from the default, and set icon view. OBSERVED RESULT Entries are too spaced apart from each other. In the screenshot, it puts 3 columns of files/folders with this font, whereas with Noto Sans it puts 5 columns. EXPECTED RESULT Entries should not be spaced from each other more than necessary.

I was not previously affected by this, but it is now happening to me in 25.08. Additionally to what David reported a couple of years ago: - Setting "Label width" to small is visually indistinguishable from setting it to medium. Spacing does change when I set it to large or huge. It's like small just doesn't have any effect anymore. - The size of the font I'm using is quite small, my preview icon size is set to 144 pixels, and I have "Maximum lines" set to unlimited.
Can confirm the issue can happen with certain fonts. I am unsure if this is bug in our code or Qt Font handling though, or the fonts themselves. The glyphs seem to report larger size than they are for the font calculation methods used to make sure the text has room.
