This was fixed for me since 5.27 but it resurfaced with 6.0. Breeze/Lightly/etc are fine; it’s Aurorae themes with fractional scaling in Wayland that have the issue. Not sure whether it’s a bug or something left over from somewhere in my system.
I’ve been helping out with bug triage since Plasma 6 released (I’m not a Plasma developer though, so take whatever I say with a healthy helping of salt). There have been a fair amount of bugs regarding fonts and fractional scaling, and a bunch of them seem to be upstream Qt bugs. So, it’s not just you/your system. There seem to be workarounds for some cases, but unfortunately I can’t say how long it will take for an out-of-the-box fix.
So, my solution to this is probably a bit more jank than you’d like, but I use one of those portable USB-C monitors that also has an HDMI input (mine is mini HDMI, but I just leave the adapter plugged into it) then I have HDMI cables run from the back of my systems, that I can plug into the portable monitor when I need local access.
When not in use, I can easily just store the portable monitor nearby, and it doesn’t take up much space.
I’m running full desktops on my machines though, and also have those dummy HDMI plugs that emulate a monitor so the systems load the desktop properly, so I can use vnc or other remote desktop to access the systems when I’m not home. I plug the dummy HDMI plugs into same HDMI cables I use for my display, using couplers, so I don’t run into any weird “dual monitor” weirdness from using both a real display and a dummy plug at the same time.
As far as input, I have a couple of super cheap wireless keyboards with trackpads built in. They don’t provide the best typing experience, but they do the job for what I need.
Has anyone seen the blurry decoration font problem (with Aurorae themes) resurface with Plasma 6? ( lemmy.world )

Cheap rack monitors or KVM IP
Hi everyone! I have a couple of old desktops as servers in my rack. Sometimes , very rarely, I need to use the machines console....
