Using GTK3 Settings for font sizes

[codeandcreate]

Currently the base font sizes are hard coded; n * pango::SCALE.
It would be better to use the current GTK3 / session settings to scale the font based on user preferences.

I agree that this should probably not be hardcoded. The main problem I see is that this application uses two different font sizes (e.g. one for the video title and one for the channel). How should I handle the two different font sizes? Should I make it a fixed amount smaller than from the settings?

i would successt to use something like n * 0.75 * pango::SCALE. for the smaller font... maybe with some rounding :)

I have implemented this feature in a new branch. Please check it out.
Note that you cannot change the font size using settings.ini on wayland. For more information look at the pull request.

Works for me! i use following code in .config/sway/config to set font size (...):

exec /usr/libexec/gsd-xsettings
exec lxpolkit
exec gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface font-name 'Inter Regular 15'
exec gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface monospace-font-name 'Hack Regular 15'

imho the small font is a little bit too small... but i'm using a fullhd screen with 12" and no scaling ;) so i think it is alright.
a little hint; add some spacing in feed_item.rs:
feed_item.rs_diff.txt

Added the spacing, thanks for the suggestion.
I am not that good with nice looking gui 🙂.
