I installed 20.04 on another partition. The problem with the text
changing size was still there, but that settings synchronization option
you told me about under system settings / login screen (SDDM) / advanced
tab fixed it. The only bug I've noticed so far is the missing icons on
the system settings screen. In the hardware section the icons for
audio, KDE connect, and printers aren't there. There's only the default
icon with a question mark and a folded corner. Still that's not a major
issue. Thanks for the help. I'm happy with 20.04 so far.

You're in for a treat. 20.04 is possibly the best release of Kubuntu
ever.

This install has other problems. Tonight I lost the toolbar and the
menubar in Gwenview. I also lost the menubar in Dolphin. All the
options I read online to restore them don't work. I'm going to try
installing Kubuntu 20.04 on another partition and try it for a while.
I'm tired of messing with the 18.04 installation. Thanks for your help.

Breeze is refering to the SDDM theme, not your desktop theme. There
is no oxygen theme for SDDM. Unless you changed it, the default
theme is breeze, but even if you did change it, just look on that
same path substituting your theme for the breeze and it will also
have a config file you can change.
These are the available sddm themes in Bionic:
sddm-theme-breeze
sddm-theme-debian-elarun
sddm-theme-debian-maui
sddm-theme-elarun
sddm-theme-lubuntu-chooser
sddm-theme-maldives
sddm-theme-maui
sddm-theme-maya

I'm using the oxygen desktop theme. Also, I suspect something else
is going on besides font size because when the font text is small,
the settings show it being the same size as when it's the normal
size. Thanks for looking into this.

I looked at the file exists that I mentioned in my previous
message exists in Bionic
From my previous message:
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.

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

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.

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
