Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's really painful to look at this small font (see the screenshots below), and I can't change it inside the program. The font option in the Appearance tab does not apply everywhere.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to see an option that lets you to configure the font sizes in a more detailed manner.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've written this small script to set the QT_SCALE_FACTOR variable to 1.3 before the launch, looks much more balanced and convenient:

@echo off
set QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.3
start "" "C:\Program Files\Cutter-v2.3.4-Windows-x86_64\cutter.exe"

Additional context
Windows. Here's what it looks before and after the fix:

A couple of questions:

  • Do you have any scaling enabled in windows display settings ?
  • What windows version are you using ?
  • Is that your only monitor ?

I wouldn't exactly classify a 1400 pixels a high dpi unless it's a very small monitor, but it's up to you to decide whether something is too small or not.

And one more thing - can you show a screenshot with cutter side by side with notepad.

For the most part the font option in settings applies only to main content: disassembly, graph view and similar.

The rest of UI should be automatically scaled based on your Desktop scaling configuration.

Just tested on windows 10 with 100% and 125% and Cutter bar was correctly matching the system scaling settings and notepad. At least for the menu bar, there were a few UI elements which I guess had custom size override thus not

100%:
100

125%:

  • Do you have any scaling enabled in windows display settings ?
    No, because it makes Windows UI look too big and causes some primarily old apps to blur. I face this scaling issue in Telegram (uses QT 6), Chrome and other native apps, but it can be fixed in their settings most of the time, and I think it's also related to Windows itself, since it doesn't allow to change the scale on per-app basis.
  • What windows version are you using ?
    Windows 11 Pro 23H2 build 22631.3447
  • Is that your only monitor ?
    Yes.
  • And one more thing - can you show a screenshot with cutter side by side with notepad.
    Sure.
