D14869: [RFC] Increase default font sizes by 1 pt

[Rik Mills]

rikmills added a comment.


  Increasing the default font size was suggested for Kubuntu in T7864 <https://phabricator.kde.org/T7864>
  
  I have the same concerns/objections as I did then.
  
  As has been mentioned  this scales other UI elements like kicker. Having also tested at the time with a fairly typical 1600x900 laptop display, it looked quite awful. A bit like it was designed for use by a short sighted toddler. Not every KDE user has a nice large res or hidpi display. In fact usage of FOSS OS often seems to be wider for lower end spec machines and displays.
  
  If this change goes ahead, I may have to give serious though to overriding new default in our Kubuntu settings package, but that brings issues of diverging from what will then be tried and tested defaults (I hope) which is additional testing burden on a small team.
