2024-04-24 Thread T. Joseph Carter
Package: console-setup Version: 1.226 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer, Linux kernel 6.9+ will support larger font sizes for HiDPI screens. This is probably aimed at "more than 4k" monitors, but for accessibility reasons it would be really useful to have larger sizes available sooner for those

Bug#1063686: installation-reports: GUI checkbox in high contrast dark mode isn't high contrast
