Bug ID: 423006
Summary: Fonts are tiny when fontconfig is set up for emoji
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.19.0
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: alex.me...@kde.org
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
I'm on arch linux, with a hi-dpi screen, using Noto fonts. When I use
https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/9q8dlj/how_to_better_enable_color_emojis/
to enable Emoji rendering, Plasma (and only Plasma) renders all text as tiny.
This can be seen on the panel, but also in any settings windows that are opened
from within Plasma (eg: by right-clicking the panel and selecting "Configure
task manager" - note that System Settings does *not* have this problem).
Without the above-linked config file, Plasma renders fonts at a sensible size
(but doesn't render emoji).
I've tried other fontconfig methods to use Noto Color Emoji as a fallback for
Noto fonts, and they either don't cause emoji to be rendered, or they cause
this same problem of Plasma font sizes (along with other problems).
No other applications (GTK+ or Qt/KDE) have this issue. KWin is fine - it's
rendering title bars as expected.

In system settings, my font configuration is Noto Sans 10pt for everything,
except Noto Sans 8pt for "small" and Hack 10pt for "Fixed width". Font DPI is
forced to 192.
