Bitcoin Core Snap on Ubuntu: Tiny font size about packaging HOT 13 OPEN

Do plain gitian binaries work fine?

from packaging.

I just build bitcoin-qt from source and don't have this problem when running natively.

Do the binaries from https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/ work?

I don't want to run a downloaded binary. The build from source should be identical, shouldn't it?

If you built from depends, then it should be functionally similar. If you built with system packages, it is functionally-wise a different GUI program.

What does "build from depends" mean? I installed all the necessary Ubuntu/Debian packages described in build-unix.md and had to use the --with-incompatible-bdb flag (but believe this shouldn't affect the UI).

I could also try the Debian packages if that helps.

Depends is the build system that gitian uses, and that can be used locally as well: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/depends

Is this still an issue after qt was bumped from 5.9 to 5.12 in Bitcoin Core 22.x in depends: bitcoin/bitcoin@06cd0da#diff-0d7e256978e78897b774581dad22102138ce4ba46aa07faaef1ae6fc6178aad4 ?

Also, 23.x has qt bumped from 5.12 to 5.15 in depends: bitcoin/bitcoin@c870027

from packaging.

Trying current 22.x:

$ sudo snap install bitcoin-core
2022-04-20T21:30:12+02:00 INFO Waiting for automatic snapd restart...
bitcoin-core 22.0 from Bitcoin Core installed

At least it's readable, but it's still too small for me. It does not seem to adhere to system font configuration.

Note GitHub seems to enlarge the preview image, making it easily readable. If you click on it, you'll see the original size.

Is this still an issue with 23.x?
