Hi everyone,

Does anyone have any ideas? I’ve adjusted all font sizes in GNOME for 4K monitor settings—including for Qt6 apps, using a Qt configuration tool.

However, the Steam client—along with a few other pop-up windows—displays unreadable text in its update window. It’s not a major issue as long as the updates themselves don't fail, but does anyone know of an app that scales *only* these specific windows without forcing a magnifier-style view (or similar) on all other applications?

Fixed it with replacing system font it wants for needed one. I'm on CachyOS with KDE so find how to do it on your system. I made some research to find where problem is, but don't remeber. My problem was on russian font.

I increased the fontsize for the gnome system font and additionally reduced the scaling of the desktop: Now I have bigger fontsize in keepass2 menu texts while not increasing the other desktop texts.

Thank you very much!
