Text size zorin OS and google chrome

Hi everyone,
I'm a new Zorin OS Pro user and really happy to have made the switch from Windows 10! However, I’m facing one issue: despite adjusting font sizes both in Zorin’s settings and in Chrome (like Google's own font settings), I still get text that looks like this:

Meanwhile, the rest of Zorin’s UI appears quite small:

I know it’s possible to use fractional scaling (between 100% and 200%), but when I enable it, everything looks blurry and out of focus.

Here are my system specs:

  • 8 GB RAM
  • AMD Ryzen 5 2500U
  • Vega 8 integrated graphics
  • 14" Huawei laptop

I'd really like to optimize both system and Chrome appearance, especially because Chrome (and even this forum) look "off" — text size causes UI elements to behave weirdly (e.g. dialog boxes cut off text or buttons, and I can’t even see the “Create Topic” button unless I go full screen).

Any tips or fixes would be much appreciated!

Perhaps you could set a different display resolution and look if that helps.
You can also take a look at settings>accessibility to adapt the text size.

When You go to Zorin Appearance or alternatively to gnome-tweaks: How are the Fonts set up? And for gnome-tweaks: Is there a higher Scaling Factor for the Font set up?

thanks for the answer, fonts are set to 15

while resolution can't go higher than this

could try to mess accessibility setting as the other user mentioned to see if I find a sweet spot between clarity and size

Have you modified your text and resolution settings in your pc?

I would suggest to disable the Toggle for Fractional Scaling. Even when You have 100% set up, turn it off.

In gnome-tweaks in''Fonts'', You have a Scaling Factor for it. You should check that, too:

Only commonly set up, nothing special changed.
