See tooltip.cpp line 136

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Hover some code in the text editor to show the tooltip

OBSERVED RESULT
Tooltip font is too large, it is very difficult to read

EXPECTED RESULT
Smaller font (at least the same size configured for the editor)

Which kate version are you using
Comment 2 Waqar Ahmed 2024-11-29 19:02:30 UTC 
The font is always the same as editor or 1pt less if the editor font size is greater than 11

If there are headers in the tooltip markdown, then of course they will appear a little bigger. 

Besides that I am not sure what can be done

I understand this is more a feature request than a bug, sorry.
It would be nice to have smaller text inside the popup, possibly using the application font instead of the one of the editor area
Comment 4 Christoph Cullmann 2024-12-01 13:53:27 UTC 
We could try to use the font size of the ui instead of the editor, but not sure if that is always better.
Comment 5 leo5t 2024-12-01 21:57:28 UTC 
Probably the best choice depend on the type of text being displayed, if it source code or documentation
