Heh, Dennis your screenshots are perfectly readable on my 15 inch 1080p
display -- the help page text is at least 5mm high and the text in the tree
widget on the left is huge :-)
How does the help text compare with the terminal text? For me the terminal text
is about twice the size of the help text.
Your 15 inch screen is going make things bigger, but not by that much I
wouldn't expect.
Yeah, the tree font is big. That was another common complaint I found, and
the complaints go back years (ca 2012). I don't understand why the upstream
eclipse devs just ignore this.
Eric: These pages are rendered in the webkit widget, I think the real bug is
that widget is not respecting the user's configured text sizes, what do you
think? User seems to have a much higher DPI screen than we do :-)
Interesting idea. The Xorg log says the server set my dpi to 96x96. In the Mate
font settings I have the font dpi set to 166, which is the screen native
physical
dpi. If I change it to 96 everything becomes microscopic. If I change it to
200,
the help text becomes (just) readable. If I use xrandr to set dpi to 166x166
then
nothing changes.
Keep in mind that the rendered size which counts as "readable" is pretty
subjective. Your eyes are not my eyes, for which you should be grateful ;(
The lack of configurability here is fundamentally an accessibility issue.
