Strange. Just looks fine here. Even with fractional scaling 150%. Hmm, but for some reason I do not have the Noto Sans default font but a font called "Inter". Ah, I may have switched to it for seeing whether its readability is better than the default. But I did not even have it installed, so it may have used the default Noto Sans anyway. I bet I hadf it installed previously, but for some reason it has been removed. I now installed it. Let's see. Anyway… it is just looking fine. Yours look like probably anti aliasing disabled? I have it enabled with RGB sub pixel rendering. And Hinting set to "light". Ah, but I also have force DPI for fonts set to 144 dpi. It is not recommended to set it here, but it may have been set automatically as I configured fractional scaling. Well at least now you have some settings to look at and fiddle around with to see whether some can fix your issue. It is still quite confusing. The amount of different settings you have there. But it also looks fine with the Hack 10 pt font I have for fixed width (toggable with "X" key by default). I still run Plasma on X11. Are you on Wayland? Best, -- Martin
