[Interest] tiny fonts in linux

[Rollastre Prostrit]

Thanks Nikos and Soroush (you replied to me instead to the list).

I can't really explain why it happened. But I removed the QtCreator's 
configurations and create another one pointing to the same place and 
fonts are back to normal again. Strange because I wasn't using anything 
related to Qt. I think I will have to blame my cat :-)

regards.
