Your desktop has an Intel i5 processor and your screen has a 1366x768 resolution. Is it its native resolution?
I would suggest to check the screen settings (resolution and scaling) as well as the fonts settings (10 pt, except for "Small")

q4osteam · 2024-12-23 18:15

Please run commands in terminal:
$ xdpyinfo | grep dots
$ xrdb -query | grep dpi
and post back the output

hchiper, correct that is the native resolution of my screen (An LG TV) and the rest of the fonts (Terminal, Apps, etc) displays correctly.

q4osteam, here are my output:

xdpyinfo | grep dots

resolution:    49x50 dots per inch

And xrdb -query | grep dpi returns no results

We are currently investigating the issue. We will keep posting.

Thank you very much.

@dj_papeles
You may only need to configure screen scaling. Welcome screen > Screen scaling > change to 125% or 150% while keeping the native resolution 1366x768 . Please post back the result.

@q4osteam
If i put the scaling to 125% and keep the resolution to 1366x768 the fonts in Software Center is big enough to read, the problem is that the rest of the system, terminal, shortcuts, menu ... are way too big, so is quite diffcult to keep a balance between all elements with the scaling...
I attach another screenshot of Software center with scaling at 125%

You can now reduce the font size for Plasma Desktop, System Settings > Appearance > Fonts . The Software Center fonts should remain readable.

Ooooh i understand, ok i reduce the fonts size in Appearance menu, thank you.
