Tiny Fonts, Icons, Menus.... How to Enlarge
Posted: Sat Jul 20, 2024 11:33 am
I just installed KDE.
I noticed that all fonts, icons, everything is so tiny and hardly readable. (old man with reading glasses here).
Al I could do was:
- Application Menu-> Display and I increased display to 125%
- Zoom in Firefox
- Enlarged Task bar a little
So, it is almost OK, but still the fonts when I hover on buttons in Task Bar and in Application Menu are so tiny.
I am worried to play with fonts so I won't get the issue I had before (here: https://www.forum.mxlinux.org/viewtopic ... 75#p783875)
How can I get fonts a bit larger without having this issue I had before with funny spaces in Bash or messing up the system?
I don't mind using the command line.
I just need all things a bit larger and readable.
I will appreciate your guidance.
