I expected to get a good readable text size in Steam-Client.
Instead I get a too small text size in Steam-Client.

I already tried to turn off user interface option "Scale text and icons to match monitor settings". But on or off does not make any difference.

And there is no workaround like zooming in/out I know of.

Please see attached screenshots to get an impression about how small the text size is.

Hello @kisak-valve, the other reports are quite old. And I'm suffering from that issue for years. Don't get me wrong.
I'm very thankful to steam supporting Linux that much. But I have to ask.

  • Is there any chance to get progress in that issue.
  • Do you need more information?
  • Is there anything else you need from the Linux community to fix the issue?
