it's maddening.
the command "fgrep -iR font ~/.trinity/share/config/*" was very
helpful. at one point it helped solve the issue I started with, viz.
teensy fonts in "TDE Control Module" windows.
then, out of the blue, Firefox-bin (v. 71.0) looked ugly - huge fonts
in the tabs - and pan newsreader equally grotesque. don't have careful
enough notes to infer if I did something to trigger it.
not the most welcome reason for procratinating but it is too
distracting for work (that's my excuse anyway) so I fooled around and
upping DPI to 120 has fixed a lot of it though not sure it will stick
the next time I boot out and up.
I still can't quite get Firefox to behave; I'm essentially running
Firefox-esr. Firefor 71.0 just ignores userChrome.css and I cannot
find the magic gtk spell for it.
but for a deadline I'm tempted to wipe q4os and just do a Debian (or
Devuan) with TDE but that may be misplacing the blame.

My notes say this about high DPI mode & Firefox (it sets a kind of pixe-to pixel zoom
factor):
about:config --> layout.css.devPixelsPerPx=2

and Firefox is a demon! ended up writing userChrome.css rules but
strangely Firefox-esr (68.3.0esr) seems to honor them but Firefox
71.0 seems to ignore them. (I did the magic of trying to force it to
read the file, etc.)
Firefox uses GTK3, and that's a pestilence on it's own.
