More precise text scaling in the "Font Selection" window

[LinuxGuy-cyber]

I have a 14" laptop with a res of 1366x768. The default size of the fonts is too hard for me to read, so I need to make it bigger. Fractional scaling doesn't work at all on my PC. Instead, I make the Text Scaling factor to 1.1. But that makes the font 'too big'.
If I manually put in 1.05, it accepts (not really, it previews) it, and then, as soon as I close it the scaling goes back to 1.1. I can check this by reopening the Font Selection window.

Please allow for more precise text scaling.

As a workaround, you may consider editing the UI font size instead. Their default value are all "10". You can type "10.5" into the font selection dialogs. The value will stick.

I am using that right now. But I've heard some people opposing this. I haven't seen any UI breakages so far. I guess it works...

I don't think editing the font size directly will be worse than pushing the text scaling factor. If there is going to be UI breakage for certain font size, the text scaling factor is going to break that application too.

Another reason this should get implemented: the bigger text accessibility option push this text scaling setting to "1.25" behind the scene. But then the font selection dialog conflict with that and mangle the value.
