You are right, the fonts are different. But I'm puzzled. When I go to kcontrol -> Appearance & Themes -> Fonts, they are all set to "Sans Serif" (except for "Fixed width" which is set to "monospace") in both installations, 11.3 and 12.3. Is there another way to select fonts?
Sans Serif and monospace are aliases. In both 11.3 and 13.1 look to /etc/fonts/conf.d/58-suse-post-user.conf to see the preferential order in assigning installed fonts to these aliases. I expect that Arial is installed on your system using the smaller fonts in your screenshot jpg, but not on the system using the larger fonts. Arial is higher in the list than DejaVu, so where it's available it is what Sans Serif aliases to. Note that "installed fonts" means both fonts installed in the conventional "installation" sense, and any fonts present in ~./fonts. Note that the fontconfig system needs restart for any changes in order for any changes you make in /etc/fonts to take effect. I just reboot any time I make any such changes. My systems all have Droid Sans at the top of the Sans Serif alias list. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
