I have the launcher installed on an Ubuntu 20.04 OS. The monitor is 24 inches across and 1080p resolution. Text is displayed in about 2 point font, making it practically impossible to read even on the large screen.
There has to be some way to fix this scaling issue and make the UI usable, but I can't find anything anywhere.

The text is readable at 150% display scaling, but only barely – it is aliased horribly because the font size is still too small. More to the point, it shouldn't require scaling my system to cartoon proportions to read text on a 1080p screen. Not trying to be rude; just trying to be direct.
We have not been able to reproduce this issue, any additional information that you can provide will be helpful.

Launcher interface is completely unaffected by any of the font settings from the Tweaks app.
I really don't know what other information would be helpful. The data from the launcher was copied and pasted because the font was still too small to read.
Closing as a duplicate of MCL-10940, as it seems to describe this issue. Thanks!
Hi there!
Did you try to change scaling in display options? How does Launcher look on 100%/150% setting?
