I found some existing issues that might be related. Please check if any of these are duplicates or contain helpful solutions:

  1. 🟣 #2102 feat: font size adjustment slider with pip/notch indicators in Interface Settings
    This feature request is directly about adding user-facing font size controls in Interface Settings, which matches the reporter’s complaint that changing font size from small to extra large has no visible effect.
    by silentoplayz

  2. 🟣 #5910 **feat: UI scale settings - smaller text (especially on mobile) **
    This issue also requests UI text/scale controls and is about the same general area of interface scaling and font sizing, making it closely related to the reported font-size setting not taking effect.
    by uberrice

  3. 🟣 #14824 feat: Allow UI Font Switching via Settings Panel for Improved Customization
    Although it focuses on font family rather than size, it concerns the same settings-panel customization path for typography, so it may share the same UI/settings implementation area.

No, the issue is not a duplicate of the above report - -it's in a normal terminal setting on a desktop and there are no sliders.
There are 5 large button options and they are not working
