Description
I may be, as always, missing something obvious. But I think has a recent Chrome update broken to_pdf... When I use the latest Chrome release (Version: 108.0.5359.124-1), doing
renderthis::to_pdf("RMD_File",...)
produces a weird result, with some slides scaled down (with much smaller fonts) and others looking OK.
I have tested by reverting to version 107.0.5304.121-1 (I'm on Ubuntu 20.04) and it seems like renderthis::to_pdf prints the xaringan slides nicely...
I don't think it depends on the actual underlying xaringan file (I've tested with a couple of examples) and the latest Chrome release fails, while the downgraded version works...

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with renderthis::to_pdf("RMD_File",...) using the xaringan examples described, on Ubuntu 20.04. Compare the PDF output under Chrome 108.0.5359.124-1 and 107.0.5304.121-1; done means the slides render consistently at the expected scale or the Chrome compatibility limitation is documented.
