--- Comment #1 from Nate Graham <n...@kde.org> ---
Can reproduce. I'm pretty sure of what's going on here: because the System Tray
allocates the same square area for every applet, when the Latin letters for the
current language are taller than they are wide, the text vertically fills the
space rather than horizontally filling the space, and the the font size ends up
larger than when the text is wider than it is long (e.g. with something like
"us").
The effect is even more pronounced with Hebrew, which gets the Latin
abbreviation "il". That's even narrower than "ir"! And if I add Latin American
Spanish with the code "lat", then the text is small because it has to fit into
the same box.
We could set a maximum text size so that it can't be quite so tall when the
letters are narrow, but we can't make the size fixed or else longer codes would
overflow.
