--- Comment #10 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
This is pretty much intentional, to ensure that the relative proportions of the
UI remain the same as the font is changed. It breaks down if you crank the font
too high, after which point it would make more sense to use a scale factor to
make things bigger or smaller. The Fonts KCM now advises you to do this if you
try. :)

Sadly it's true that there can be minor bugs introduced based on the metrics of
the fonts; for example 11pt Noto Sans is 22% bigger than 10pt Noto Sans, not
10% bigger as yo would expect. As a result going to 11pt Noto Sans makes
everything enormous. This is a bug in Noto Sans itself, sadly. See Bug 431947
for details.

Those issues should be tracked separately though.
