[SOLVED] How can I change the desktop font size?

[Valsodar]

18.3 has a fonts option to change the fonts and their sizes for desktop, documents and stuff but I can't see that option in 19.1. How can I change them? And why would they remove it in the first place?
Speaking of removed options, there are other options that seem to have disappeared from 19.1. Such as the ability to change the font size of the clock in the bottom right corner. IDK what the idea is here but these limitations only contribute for me to feel Mint 19 more like Windows. Which isn't good...

If they had removed it, then it would not be possible to change them, so there would be no use in asking how. Your complaint is not only premature, but also illogical, says my inner Mr. Spock.

Here you go:

As for the clock, I can't help you there but maybe someone else has an idea. The clock is a part of the Calendar applet, maybe you can replace it by a different one that has more options?

I found them. It seems the people who translated 19.1 made a mess with translations which completely changed the location of the feature I was looking for. In 18.3 it was "Шрифтове" which was placed nearly at the end of the list with settings and was easier to find. Now it's called "Избор на шрифтове" which places the font changer at the beginning of the list with settings and it would never cross my mind to look for it there. On top of that manually typing "шри" didn't show me results containing these characters (which was the perfect behavior in 18.3) thus making finding of that feature even harder.

The failure of the label font size (i.e the clock) to change with panel size is a side effect of the panel revamp allowing icon sizing to be fully user controlled in Cinnamon 4.

I understand allowing the same for labels is on the cards for Cinnamon 4.2 (I think the intention is to make all of the font characteristics currently set in cinnamon.css user controlled which is another big change so I guess didn't make it to 4.0 for lack of time).

In the meantime it's a case of theme editing if the theme set label font sizes look really out of place for your personal panel set up.
