UI fonts too small on very low DPI screens |
||||
Issue descriptionhttps://codereview.chromium.org/2441043002 caused the tab titles on windows on my machine to get way too small. The font size reduces by a factor of more than 2. I can provide monitor stats if you need them.

Do you mean the font size under "web content"? Here is what it says: Font size: medium Page zoom: 100% Changing the font size above does not affect the bad font sizes in the tab title or other Aura elements.

No, the setting on your linux desktop.

In Settings > Display, I had: * Scale for menu and title bars: 0.75 * Scale all window contents to match: "display with smallest controls" I have a two-monitor setup (30" + 24"). It seems that impacted the output. When I changed "scale all window contents to match" to "display with largest controls" I got back the expected font size. Same if I changed "scale for menu and title bars" to 1.0.

> * Scale for menu and title bars: 0.75 That's the reason why you get smaller fonts. Even though it says menu/title bars, it changes the gtk's font scale, so it will also make texts in buttons, terminals or even icons (and whatever that uses this value) smaller. Did you intentionally change this value? Or will 1.0 work for you?

1.0 works fine for me. I don't remember when I set 0.75..

The change just made it to the dev channel. Working via Chrome remote desktop today, the fonts are definitely too small. Significantly smaller than those at the top of the Terminal app or Sublime, for example. And in remote desktop mode, there is no option under Settings > Display to increase font size, for some reason.

Please include the version number, screenshot and also the output of xpyinfo. If your Display settings does not have scale, try gnome-teak-tool, Fonts -> Scaling Factor. Make sure you have 1.0 there.
