Chat does not adhere to system text size preference, but should.

3. Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible

   The “Default” size preference is too large for my system by one or two pts:

   steam -friendsui # https://gist.github.com/davispuh/6600880#file-steam_console_params-txt-L60:~:text=-forcevgui%20--,-friendsui%20-,--fs_log%20-%20Log

   

   This means that it must be a hardcoded value. Instead, it should adhere to the system preferences. I consider this an accessibility issue.

   In fact, that image shows that it doesn't adhere to any of the few preferences available, but that's probably best kept to a different issue considering that it's a DE-specific preference adherence rather than this very generic issue, despite being as much an accessibility issue as this.

4. Steps for reproducing this issue

   1. # kcmshell5 --list
      kcmshell5 kcm_fonts

      

   2. 

   3. Start-Process steam://settings/friends # https://gist.github.com/davispuh/6600880?permalink_comment_id=4673971#gistcomment-4673971

      

   4. steam -friendsui # https://gist.github.com/davispuh/6600880#file-steam_console_params-txt-L60:~:text=-forcevgui%20--,-friendsui%20-,--fs_log%20-%20Log

      

      Notice the difference between the GUI size everywhere except the chat itself and the chat?

@kisak-valve, I wouldn't consider this an issue with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kwin.
