(Well, to the degree that we say "a gridUnit is roughly the height of a line of text". The 1.6 constant looks weird here, and I'm against adding font specific hacks in, especially since at that point in the code, we don't even know what the font is.</p>

The font metric is clearly wrong for Noto, Oxygen (and certainly some other fonts) and this change is backwards compatible with current code.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">And this is not a font specific hack, this just scales the actual height of M to the expected gridUnit value because gridUnit never was a height of M character (it is like 1.6 * height of M = thus the magic number).</p></pre>

The funny thing here is that the Oxygen font is actually the wrong one, as that includes more height than the rendered character, but also some spacing above.</p>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">The bug you're referring to should be fixed by not computing the font manually, but use units.iconSizes.* instead. (I haven't tried, but that's the semantically correct solution.)</p></pre>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">In the current implementation, yes. Because QFontMetrics::boundingRect(QString = "M").height() returns more than just height of M character, and this extra size is different for various fonts - it will return different value for 2 fonts even when the font size (eg. actual height of M character) is the same in both.</p>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Yes, but that spacing is there for every font, but different and that's exactly the whole problem. For DejaVu Sans font it returns value that plays well with what we use as gridUnit (roughly M height * 1.6), but for Noto and Oxygen it returns just too much (~ * 2). Only QFontMetrics::boundingRect(QChar = 'M').height() returns the actual M height without any spacing.</p>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">My issue is that units.gridUnit and theme.mSize is too big and that leads to too big spacing relative to font size. You can see it on screenshots, it shows the minimum size of system tray popup (it is calculated as x multiple of units.gridUnit). You can see on the first screenshot that it is just too big, and the same story is for every other plasma widget.</p>
<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Maybe I should have posted the whole screen, not just a snip. It looks much worse when you see the whole screen and can compare the size to the rest of screen (1920x1080).</p>

<p style="padding: 0;text-rendering: inherit;margin: 0;line-height: inherit;white-space: inherit;">Yes, that would fix the linked bug - size of systemtray icons. But it won't fix the general issue mentioned above.</p></pre>

the sizing of systray icons should depend in a range between iconsizes, so from iconSizes.small to smallMedium (or medium, or whetever).
for the grid unit, adding that ratio to the m height, i get that you are trying to have pretty much the height of a line of text? could QFontMetrics::lineSpacing() work?</p></pre>

It now returns correctly the actual height of M character. For backwards compatibility, the value is multiplied with 1.6.</p>

Basically everything in Plasma grow too much (even though the font is visually the same or even smaller than DejaVu Sans that I was using before - same font size 9 was used) - too big spacing in task manager, too big popups (application menu, system tray popups), etc ...</p>
