Hi, I wanted to ask if there is any possiblilty to make the fonts in Krita a little bigger? I mean the titles of items like the layers, tool options or the detailed brushlist. On my 1080p display I find it generally very hard to read unless I use a high contrast theme, and even then I have issues with it.

This has been driving me nuts for a while tiny menus in firefox and thunderbird, I finally stumbled upon the answer.
You need to open system settings and adjust the scale in display settings (1.4 is a good setting) at the bottom of the screen.

If you want the same settings in Thunderbird and Firefox as well as root Dolphin, you need to do the same when logged in as root.
You can achieve this by editing the kmenu right-click the menu icon ->edit applications ->settings ->system settings ->cntrl-n then add another entry then go to advanced and set opening as root. Exit and don't forget to save it at top right.

Hmm seems like you found a solution for Linux, but I am on Windows. I put the fontsize bigger, which is generally nice but the stuff like for example the brushnames are still in a too small fontsize.

The situation on Windows is a bit complicated. You can use the Windows display scaling setting to make all applications bigger: I do that on my Surface Pro, where it's set to 150%. But Krita 2.9 doesn't support that properly. For Krita 3.0, we had hoped that Qt's HiDPI support would help, but there are problems: if enabled, all the buttons and menus and things follow the scaling, but so does the canvas. That means that the actual image is shown scaled up at 150% or 200% or whatever your setting is. And because Qt's scaling isn't as fancy as Krita's. the result isn't just incorrect, it's also fuzzy... So, this is an area where we're still trying to find a solution.

The stupid thing is, on OSX, everything works perfectly with retina displays...

Ahh thanks for the explanation, I kind of figured it had something to do with that because I tried the windows scaling (on the flipside, now all my other programs are nicely readable so that is a plus ) but it would not work for the little fonts I have trouble with. Anyways keep up the great work.
