Summary: About resetting "fonts" after setting global scale
factor, which alters "force dpi"

SUMMARY
I have set the overall scaling via the Display and Monitor KCM to 200%, this
changes the "force dpi" setting in the fonts KCM automatically.
Highlighting the changes of the KCM in respect to their default state does not
show that this setting has been altered. (Please see the screen recording.)
Clicking on "reset to defaults", however will disable "force dpi". Changing it
now back to the value suggested by the "Display and Monitor" KCM results in:
1) An inline message, suggesting to better apply the configuration
automatically via the Display and Monitor KCM. (Fair!)
2) The "force dpi" checkbox NOW becomes orange, highlighting it was changed.
I find this situation rather tricky: Resetting KCM A, which was automatically
adjusted by another KCM B, which is however left untouched by this reset, is
not optimal.
It'd be better
a) to indicate, that this setting was adjusted by another setting and not by
the user themself
b) to ask to keep the settings, which were altered by other KCMs or to reset
both to keep an consistent state.
In both cases of b) it should be explained which settings are interrelated.
