> darktable used (...) just system font. The very popular OS used in my case is one that has only two settings for the font size, 12pt and SUPER LARGE. So adjusting the OS font size is not an option for me and many others. The screen that I'm using for this is 1920x1080, very common. May I ask what size screen you're using? Maybe you have a bigger screen, and on 1920x1080 we need smaller sizes?
I actually prefer 8.2pt to be exact (not 8pt) but this might be an odd default. Can you try 8.2pt and tell me what you think? Yes, other programs that I use on this OS, including GIMP, use a small font size like 8.2pt for parts of their interface. I'm not suggesting anything controversial here. Roboto is a great free-license font, but it is not my OS font. So this shows that we can do something different and not simply use the OS. > And since darktable 3.2.1, font size could be set by the user in > preferences. My interest is to advocate that fellow photographers and students use darktable and for them to instantly love it. I don't want to add, "You might want to reduce the font size in the settings... etc". This will make them think twice because they have to play around with settings? Not optimal. I want something that just works. On 1080 screens 12pt is almost not usable. I'm still available to do the 'T' icon, if needed. Recommended font sizes for 1080 screens are 8.2, 9, and 10pt for any future font-size toggle button.
