why it's assigned to me ?

monajat uses the default system font.

what size is your display (inch) ? is it CRT/LCD ? what is the resolution ? how many DPI ? and what is the DPI on gnome setttings ?

are the reported dimensions for your LCD correct ? in other others is your LCD monitor 14" wide ? and is this specific to monajat ? how many dpi in font settings in system -> preferences -> appearance -> fonts -> details ?

actually i have a 15" widescreen LCD. all the other text is fine and large. i will attach a picture to show you. if there is a specific font size i need to adjust to make the monajat fonts larger, please tell me which one i need to adjust. you can see from the attached picture that the arabic text is very small.

yes, it's smaller than system font.
but this is not the problem of monajat it's the problem of ubuntu's notify-osd

I'm using standard notification daemon and I also use xfce notification daemon and they both appear in correct size.

could you please report this to notify-osd developers or ask Brother Elmahmoudy check this problem our.

Can you help with this problem?
