Hello,
After update to release 15 the font in browser UI for Linux, i.e. tabs, menu etc. is tiny.
It was not problem in Alpha release.
It was not fixed in the next updates as I thought, and therefore I wonder whether it is just my experience and what I can do about it.

We hardcoded it to Arimo and we had also to set a size.
I don’t think the size influences web content, therefore we could try to adjust the patch and see if we can use system’s size while using Arimo.
I don’t know if it’ll work well though.
I’ll try to address it this Monday.
Thank you.
I cannot imagine that I am the only one who would find the small font difficult.
I have attached screenshot of menu before and after release 15 on 1920x1200 monitor.
I cannot read the address bar, tab labels, context menu or anything else in the UI.
Just to be able to reproduce before sending a fix: what are your settings?
I guess you’re on a high-DPI monitor. E.g., you told me it’s a full HD monitor, but I guess it’s on a small display (e.g., 13” laptop), so you use some system scaling.
When I tried my patch, it seemed to work well even with scaling, but I tried on GNOME.
What DE are you using? And how do apply the scaling? With a settings UI, or with xrandr? Are you on X11 or on Wayland?
I’d like to test the patch in 16.0a1, because I fear it’s a bit too late for 15.0.3 (we would like to build it soon to release tomorrow, sorry).
@hobbitus can you check if this build fixes the problem for you? https://tb-build-03.torproject.org/~pierov/testbuild/tor-browser-linux-x86_64-testbuild-44410.tar.xz
My apology for late response.
I use 13” monitor with Gnome on Wayland without any system scaling, but large system font.
Thank you for the build, I’ll try it and let you know how it looks like.
@hobbitus How did it go?
