You have already pointed that: the pain and eyesight wear of reading less amount of small text is smaller than the pain and eyesight wear of reading a great amount of small text. There's little discussion on that regard, and that argument alone is solid enough to defend my posture. About 95% (being conservative) of the apps designed for reading moderate to big amount of text, even on mobile devices, allows you to change the font size or in-app scaling, so users are going to open Neochat preferences looking for that option, I can assure you that. Trying to force them to rescale the whole system for just an app is quite weird and, moreover, is a decision that should lie with the users. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Text that's too small to comfortably read when there's a lot of it doesn't become more readable when there isn't as much of it.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475140 Bauglir changed: What|Removed |Added Status|REOPENED|CONFIRMED --- Comment #9 from Bauglir --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #8) > See Comment 4. Hi, Nate. I'd like to respectfully say that your suggestion to increase the global scale factor makes (IMHO) little sense because you don't need the same font size in every application: you could require a smaller font size in e.g. a file manager in which you need space to organize things, and require a bigger font size in an app in which you have to read and write for some amount of time. Robert Riemann already told you in Comment 2. I've changed the status of the issue to Confirmed following the guidelines (I apologise if I made a mistake: I have moderated expertise with this platform), because, if my experience and testing (I've spent some time playing with global scale) are of any help, I can confirm you that increasing global scale factor if not a solution to this problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475140 Bauglir changed: What|Removed |Added CC||baug...@fsfe.org --- Comment #7 from Bauglir --- For me, Neochat's little font size, on a 24" FullHD screen, is quite uncomfortable to use, and on the laptop (15.6" FullHD) it's directly unusable, and I don't have any particular eyesight disease so I'd bet there's a bunch of other people having the same problem. I'd definitely give this feature some kind of priority (it's been two years since this basic feature was requested) because I'm pretty sure there're many users stuck with this problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=475140 --- Comment #4 from Nate Graham --- It sounds like ultimately you might be better satisfied with a higher scale factor overall, and then you won't have to adjust the font size in any apps. Can you give that a try? It's also possible for you to change the global font size in System Settings, which NeoChat will respect. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Indeed, Dolphin has similar font isze, but I read less text in Dolphin. In konsole, I increased font size. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
