TDE: firefox/thunderbird/some UI fonts are small

[mattdawolf]

I have recently returned to using TDE from KDE5. For some reason, all my gtk fonts in Thunderbird, Firefox, and a few other apps are very, very small. I've gone through every GTK theme change/config app available and upped it to 28 points, as I run 3 4K displays. Forcing a DPI change will be a global change, not just specific to firefox/thunderbird.

gtk-query-settings returns a font and size of Sans 10. Where is it pulling its information from?

I am running Ubuntu 18.04.

Please use code tags to enclose terminal commands and their results. Don't get carried away with special formatting to bring attention to what needs to be emphasized. Note that a simple bold stands out. Code tags also preserve formatting, which keeps character strings as they are, rather than having them turn into emojis.

Is is also best to say what an esoteric acronym stands for rather than to assume people will know, ie:

" ... TDE (Trinity Desktop Environment) ... "

or

" ... Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) ... "
