--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
So you're going from Noto Sans 10 to 11, right? In this case, the issue is
actually in Noto Sans itself, believe it or not. The issue is that the metrics
of Noto Sans 11pt are about 22% bigger than the metrics of Noto Sans 10pt,
rather than 10% bigger.

As you're aware, tons of things in Plasma respect the font size by deriving
their size directly from the font metrics, or by using GridUnit, LargeSpacing,
or another common unit, all of which also take into consideration the font
size.

As a result, going to Noto Sans 11pt makes everything 22% bigger rather than
10% bigger, which is what you expect. If you change the font to something else
without this weirdly huge jump in the size between 10 and 11, you'll get the
sizing you expect.

The correct fix would be in Noto Sans itself, believe it or not. There isn't
anything we can do in KDE code to work around it short of using a different
default font.
