I looked and found that Plasma 5.12 is the latest I can get with Kubuntu
18.04. Which config file should I edit?

Looks like it might be a feature of newer versions of the Plasma
Desktop. I'm running Kubuntu 20.04 on the version that I saw the
setting.
Most likely you can still hand edit the config file on older versions
though.

I opened system settings, clicked startup and shutdown. The first
option on the top left is Login Screen (SDDM). I click that and the
advanced tab shows. I click it, but there's no settings
synchronization button. I have Plasma 5.12.9. You can see what I
do have under the advanced tab here https://ibb.co/3snzX6Y

I was just poking around the SDDM theme settings and under the
advanced tab I just noticed there is a settings synchronization
button that will allow you to synchronize your desktop settings to
the SDDM theme. That would probably be the best way to go, and if
that works ignore my last message :)

If you are talking about the font sizes on the login screen itself;
those font sizes aren't set by the font settings in your desktop
settings. The login screen is shared between all users of the
machine so it has to have it's own settings.
You'll either need to tweak the SDDM theme, or change the
resolution of the whole system.
If you are using the breeze sddm theme you can edit it's config
file at /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf and there is a
font size setting in there.
If you want to make sure that your changes don't get overwritten
the next time the system updates the theme you might want to do this:
sudo dpkg-divert --add /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf
The above line will cause any future installs of the package to
write the package's version of the config file to
/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf.distrib instead of it's
normal name. That way the system will always get your version of
the config file.

Good morning,
I've got a machine running Kubuntu 18.04 64 bit. When I log out
and log in or press ctrl alt backspace; beginning at the login
screen the text is much smaller. The first time this happened, I
reset the text to make everything the size I wanted. When I
rebooted the machine, the text was too big, so I made it smaller.
It wasn't doing this when I first installed the OS on this
dinosaur. Any idea what happened, or more importantly, how I fix it?
I went into system settings/fonts. The sizes for the various
fonts are from top to bottom 12 14 14 14 14 12. When I log in a
second time without rebooting, the text is much smaller as I
described, but these font size settings are the same.
thanks
