Issue descriptionUserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/59.0.3071.109 Chrome/59.0.3071.109 Safari/537.36 Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Go to OS System Settings. 2. Click on Fonts 3. Change the "Default Font" size and note the font in address bar in Chromium stays the same. What is the expected behavior? The address bar font size should change per the OS system settings for the default font. Firefox behaves this way. What went wrong? Address bar font is not correctly linked to OS default font. Did this work before? No Chrome version: 59.0.3071.109 Channel: stable OS Version: Mint 17.3 Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 24.0 r0

This is an accessibility issue, and I consider it a bug, albeit one that doesn't hit most people. It's challenging to fix well. I believe there's a bug on this, I don't recall off the top of my head. >>> pkasting@, do you consider this bug report basically the same issue on Linux? Also, now that I reviewed all omnibox component bugs, I am sure there is not a bug on file for this, unless you count bug 260766 which looks somewhat different. Do you want to morph this bug into the accessibility issue?

I'm using i3wm and I just upgraded to Chrome 69 (Version 69.0.3493.3 (Official Build) dev (64-bit)) and the address bar is unusable for me now. I have to put my eyes about 4 inches from the screen to read the text and it is very painful. In addition, the font size for extension badges, coupled with anti-aliasing, leaves them utterly unreadable, so I am unable to see how many notifications a given extension is displaying.

here's a side by side with Chrome Version 63.0.3239.132 (Official Build) (64-bit). Chrome 63 is perfectly legible for me. But Chrome 69 is not.

@10: Can you file that as a separate bug? That looks like a P1 regression to me (the address bar font is still supposed to be the size it is in your 63 screenshot), whereas the original bug here -- which I want to avoid morphing -- is just about the general idea of obeying system settings. When you file this, please give as much information as possible about your OS, system font face and size, if changing the "top-chrome-md" flag to "normal" helps, and any specifics on the most recent version you know was working. @9, if your problem looks like comment 10's, I would go star that new bug.

Sounds good @pkasting, I'll go file the new bug. I just noticed that I logged in with two different accounts - doh! Both @9 and @10 are mine :)

something worth noting: in the coming version of Windows 10 called Redstone 5 (September release?), there will be a new OS text scaling. Here is a blog post that mentions it https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2018/06/14/announcing-windows-10-insider-preview-build-17692/#MzdR72J2Jqee3qqf.97
