Hello everyone.

After I changed the default font in KDE Plasma 6.1.4 on Bazzite to Atkinson Hyperlegible, all desktop icons have weird line spacing in the name. Notice how .png is hanging behind tge icon for TextFile sh. Changing the font size does nothing. Only if I switch back to the defaults does it fix itself. Any idea how I can keep Atkinson as a font and fix this issue?

Edit: In edit mode (right click on desktop) I can set the Text lines to 1 which makes things bearable. Still no way to manage the weird spacing issue. Seems that not all icon are affected. Couldn't find a pattern.

Or, if you can't find any of those other settings, try decreasing the font size by 1 pt or 1-2 px (not sure what unit KDE6 uses for font sizes) and see if that works better with the new font's letter widths and kerning.

I tried reducing the font size to no avail. Seems it's the fonts fault.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
