I think the question is "How to lower the text size under the Normal give us".
In Sailfish OS size is controlled by the dconf key /desktop/jolla/theme/font/sizeMultiplier
All we need now is a GUI to change it. Anyone want to write a patch?
This is how you change it (write this into the Terminal):
dconf write /desktop/jolla/theme/font/sizeMultiplier value
value is a float. Default is unset or 1.0. (2.0 means two times bigger, 0.5 is two times smaller)
Not all sailfishos user have good eyes. For all of us with bad eyes it was a old request (since 2013) for changing the font size: https://together.jolla.com/question/1062/enhance-the-readability-of-texts-in-the-ui-eg-configurable-font-size/ .
Now there is a setting for font-size. Thx to jolla.
@nerip: People have different skills. Making a phone for people from 8 to 118 is not a simple task. You can't make a phone only for your own skills. You has to imagine skills and limitations of all users.Have you check this before start this question?
@utkiek Off course i know that. I just want to be able to change size for lower value not higher. Ive a X compact and the screen is small and everything is too big with "normal size" font. I will try with the terminal but it should be with a GUI. Making a phone for 8 to 118 we all need GUI because we are not all developers.
@vatman Thanks I will try. Hope I will not break my sailfish os changing settings with the terminal.
