If the screen resolution and font scaling had screw-up the appearance of «okular», you can create an executable file ~/.local/bin/okular with the following content: ------------------------------------------ QT_SCALE_FACTOR=1.2 /usr/bin/okular "$@" ------------------------------------------ Adjust the scale factor to Your needs. Check the order of $PATH (file ~/.bash_profile). It must contain somthing similar: ------------------------------------------ PATH=$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin:$PATH export PATH ------------------------------------------
