Ack to both.

Thanks @Marco, same here, tested with both the Bookworm version and the Trixie version. @Karlheinz, this sounds more like your display environment applying some settings than XSkat doing anything wrong by itself. However, XSkat is admittedly a rather old-fashioned program, so it can all too easily happen that it falls through the proverbial cracks when run in any modern display environment, unlike other programmes that have been explicitly developed for the environment of choice (in your case Gnome, I presume). As for the text size, the "-font" command line option might help, using any of the fonts listed by the "xlsfonts" command from the "x11-utils" package. This won't change the size of the images, though. So better check your display environment for any settings which might have an effect, just like Marco suggests. For now I am lowering the bug severity to "normal", as per <https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#severities> since it doesn't seem to be a general issue, and tag the bug according to <https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer#tags> since I don't see yet what XSkat could/should do differently.
