I thought that I would try something out -- namely, copying over the fonts from 13.2 to Leap --
Bad idea unless you're sure of what you're doing. Simply copying you shouldn't mix them with installed fonts. Best to put them in any of /usr/local/share/fonts/ ~/.fonts/ ~/.config/fonts/
and went to use my decades old favourite 'mc' to do the work. Within 5 seconds or so 'mc' aborted and I got a message on the screen stating that plasma5 pooped itself. After fooling around for several minutes, which included rebooting the system into Leap, I managed to get the konsole back on the screen but with the following result when I tried to run 'mc':
Now this is the very small area on a 27inch monitor so you have to view this image in perspective. Wunderbar! Not. And I don't know how to revert back to the original size (without having to re-install the whole sheebang).
You can revert every KDE user setting to default by logging out of GUI, opening MC on a vtty, and deleting ~/.config/k* and ~/.kde* before logging back in. What happens when you run MC from an IceWM session instead of Plasma? I have no idea what went on to cause it, but you camoflaged the result by shrinking the image to 161px wide and leaving out your taskbar/panel for context. Run MC from Konsole instead of menu and you should be good, or at least, better. Or, was Konsole only a teensy tiny fraction of the screen with microscopic fonts too? What resolution is your 27" screen? There are always vttys to run mc on too, using fullscreen. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
