Description
For reference,

depicts my actual font configuration, and its GUI depicts how the text should be rendered.
`WindTerm` uses pixels rather than points. https://pixelsconverter.com/pt-to-px demonstrates that 10 pt should approximately equate to 13 px
> 
but this isn't what occurs:
# `WindTerm`
## 10 pixels


## Default theme fonts


## 13 pixels


Because the Default theme fonts preference appears to set the font to 13 pixels as it should, yet the font appears much too large, there appears to a font size determination error. This might be because `WindTerm` appears to actually use pt rather than px, since 10 pt looks directly equivalent to 10 px.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the font-size behavior in the WindTerm 2.5.0 Linux portable release on KDE Plasma 5, using the reported 10 pt and 13 px comparisons. Compare the rendered terminal and default-theme fonts with the KDE configuration; the fix is complete when automatic sizing matches the configured font size and the reported discrepancy is resolved.
