text too small - almost forgot

[Brian Cluff]

If you are talking about the font sizes on the login screen itself; 
those font sizes aren't set by the font settings in your desktop 
settings.  The login screen is shared between all users of the machine 
so it has to have it's own settings.
You'll either need to tweak the SDDM theme, or change the resolution of 
the whole system.

If you are using the breeze sddm theme you can edit it's config file at 
/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf and there is a font size 
setting in there.

If you want to make sure that your changes don't get overwritten the 
next time the system updates the theme you might want to do this:

sudo dpkg-divert --add /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf

The above line will cause any future installs of the package to write 
the package's version of the config file to 
/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf.distrib instead of it's normal 
name.  That way the system will always get your version of the config file.
