Text size in Chrome's omnibar is too small

Question

Recently I have been testing some desktop environments like Budgie and Cinnamon and I noticed that now my Google Chrome omnibox (also know as Address Bar) has a very small font.

I already tried to reset Chrome settings, tried to change the theme and also changed the font-size in the Settings. I even installed Chromium - and the problem is the same.

Anyone know what exactly is responsible for the address bar font size?

Solution

In Ubuntu 18.04.3 enabling 'Large Text' in Settings->Universal Access enlarges font size in Chrome's and Chromium's address bar for me.

AFAIK, there's no user-accessible method to change the font size in the address bar. What you can try is different fonts in your ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. Not all fonts of the same "size" appear visually of the same size. You can find the "largest" one by having the same text in several line in LibO Writer and testing different fonts. You'll see a difference. Choose the one you like. As a user that's about all you can do. The font-size in Chrome's urlbar has been a WontFix for years :(

I'd suggest DejaVu Sans.

Great, thanks! The problem was really with the font. I was using "Garuda". Now it's working fine. Thanks :)

"The font-size in Chrome's urlbar has been a WontFix for years" -> I'm thinking of switching to a different browser, because that is ridiculus.

I already switched for the Firefox, since quantum project it has evolved a lot. Anyway, this is one of the issues that I had with Google Chrome and fonts.

This is a Chrome issue that you can vote on.

I'm using the Ubuntu 16.04 default font and have the same issue?

I'm not sure if I can help you. What Ubuntu and Chrome version are you using? Did you tried to change the font and reboot?
