Does anyone know if VLC's UI can be made to obey Trinity's font size
settings? I have font size set to 14 in qtconfig (~/.config/Trolltech.conf),
and QT's own settings window has fonts same size as Trinity's size 14 fonts.
VLC's fonts are only about half as big as Trinity's:

I finally got fonts right in VLC in Jessie's 14.0.3 via IRC help suggesting
to install and run qtconfig-qt4. NAICT, all running qtconfig-qt4 did was put
a font setting line into ~/.config/Trolltech.conf. That's already been done
in openSUSE 42.1 via /usr/bin/qtconfig, which comes from the libqt4-x11 rpm,
yet VLC fonts remain tiny in openSUSE. :-(
The subject machine/installation is not my own, as I'm doing a nearly blind
friend a favor. I checked on one of my own openSUSE 42.1/TDE 14.0.3
installations, and can't get fonts in VLC to obey any font settings there either.

I played around with this for a while after Felix raised the question, without
any success at all.
My own personal solution so far has been not to use vlc: it has such a
preference for the minuscule in everything.:-/

Unless recent means for some years, then no. Or anyhow, that cannot be the
complete explanation. As I said, I have never used vlc because of this
problem. I don't remember how long I have been avoiding it for, but I would
say at least since KDE 3.5.10

Random question, possibly not helpful--is it possible
that VLC is using
the qt5 GUI that's available in recent versions?
Turns out it is:

http://lists.links2linux.de/pipermail/packman/2016-May/014426.html
One of the openSUSE maintainers provided a temporary PMBS rpm solution:
qt5ct
A more conventional package should be available through the normal publishing
process now that the issue is known - whether from Packman or standard repos
I have no idea. Neither do I have any idea whether any of this trouble has
any TDE component. I suppose someone with both Plasma 5 and TDE installed
might avoid the issue in the first place.
