System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19042-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 511.79

Blender Version
Broken: version: 3.1.0, branch: master, commit date: 2022-03-08 18:16, hash: c77597cd0e
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
The n-panel font sized increased in 3.1 comared to 3.0

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
The space of the n-panel is super limited as we all know.
In 3.1 the fontsize increased.

3.0.0	3.1

Steps to reproduce
Please open Blender 3.0 and Blender 3.1 with the n-panel open and switch between boths windows. you should see that the n-panel text appears bigger/bolder in 3.1.

Workaround: Decrease in Themes -> Text Style the Widget points to 10. Then the n-panel has the same/a similar font size as in 3.0, but a lot of other ui elements workspace tabs get also in decreased size, which makes them appear much smaller as in 3.0.

Cannot confirm that here. Can you check with File -> Defaults -> Load Factory Settings?

intresting, that's it's not broken for you.

Even if start Blender with an empty profile the n-tab fonts are too big.

Load Factory Setting is of course also not helping for me.

That's how it's looking with a complete fresh profile for 3.1:

Also on macOS the fonts size of the n-panel appears bigger als in 3.0

it may be that not the font size is increased, but the font in the n-panel is bold know.

that's the theory of an other Blender user I know who just confirmed the bug.

Hi, Thanks for the report. I can confirm.
Not sure if change was intentional or came with some other improvements.
I'd like to know from developers if it's worth fixing this (Not very critical issue I think)

@PratikPB2123

Thank you for confirming.

I agree with you that this may be not a super high critical bug, but I think it should be fixed.

If you have a lot of addons in the n-panel, space is very valuable and this bug makes the space issue even more worse.

Of course, it would be better if we would get a solution which fixes the space issue for the n-tab in general (like change the panel text to icons and make the n-tab area scrollable), but I see discussions since years about this topic and there is still no solution how to improve the n-tab ui. And I think it's more realistic that we get the n-tab font size/weight reverted as a general n-tab revise ;)

@Rincewind3D-1 - Still broken in Blender 3.1.2

Yes, that is expected. This complaint was on March 9 and I committed that fix on Marth 13, all within the Bcon1 release cycle of 3.2.

Had this complaint come in between October 27th 2021 and mid-February, I could have gotten this fix into 3.1. But it was in "bug-fixing only" status from January 28th until March 2. I wouldn't consider this important enough to backport to the 3.1.x corrective release(s).

Ah okay, thanks for clarification. So we will wait for 3.2.

However, thank you for fixing it.
