[Feature Request] Change system font size through COSMIC Settings

[mrjuniortec]

Olá caros colegas, a interface está linda e rápida pórem senti falta de mudar o tamanho da fonte do sistema direto pelo cosmic-settings. Seria ótimo se adicionar essa opção.

I'm 2nding this request. Fractional scaling is very imperfect, so it would be really nice to be able to use 100% scaling but bump the font size up (e.g. on a 13 inch laptop with a 4k screen).

It's a great, thanks!

Bumping this thread, as it's the major drawback to me.

Does anyone know how to do this without cosmic settings?

This is the only thing still missing from cosmic in my opinion..

The additional scaling feature is a nice temporary solution but I would rather set the scaling to 100% and adjust the system font size myself.

I have a couple of use cases where changing the system font would be useful.

I have a 4k display where I often want 1cm on screen to match 1cm on paper, this so that documents and drawings can be seen at actual size, and so that architectural drawings are their stated scale on screen.

Additionally, when dealing with photos it's common to use a variety of applications, not all of which are scale aware, so at scales other than 100%, different applications render the same images at different sizes. Plus when pixel-peeping photos, it's best that 1 pixel is 1 physical pixel.

This can all be achieved by setting the scale to 100%, but on typical 4K monitors, the UI text and icons will then be too small. So normally I would set the UI fonts to be larger than normal, and hence my desire that COSMIC should support that option.

I'm hoping you might be able support users with these kinds of use cases. I should note, that KDE Plasma6, under Wayland, no longer supports DPI/font customization to the degree of flexibility present in Plasma5. The best solution in Plasma6 is to buy a really big 4k display. Supporting these use cases would be a point of difference.

On my ThinkPad laptop with a 1080p display, fonts look poor due to bad anti-aliasing.
On a connected 4K display, fonts appear better, but their size cannot be adjusted without scaling the entire interface.
The main issue in my case is the inability to define font size and configure anti-aliasing settings.
I believe adding the ability to customize font settings and rendering parameters would support COSMIC DE's goals.
