I think it would be better to rename base_font_size to plot_font_size. The current name gives the impression that this config is used for all the texts in the program.

When the font size is large, the plot gets cut off. I suspect this is because the size of the plot widget remains the same even with the larger font size. The images below show what this looks like. The pictures were with font sizes 6pt and 12px.
