Hi guys,

I noticed a recent change in Welcome Screen that made message font size 
smaller:

https://invent.kde.org/graphics/krita/-/commit/61269bc0edf1f81d319dce196a1c2520af287543

This will likely to cause issues under Windows for CJK languages. 
Further investigation is advised. Since Windows Nightlies are currently 
packaged without translation, I can't say for sure, but my experience 
tells me that it'll likely to go wrong.

Chinese/Japanese/Korean locale under Windows still use bitmap system 
fonts by default. Text will become scrambled if they were not exactly 
9pt/10pt/11pt/12pt. The matching size differs per locale, but 12pt is 
universally safe. Therefore I believe the old code of 12pt font size was 
there for a reason.

Best,
Tyson Tan
