@Charles, we need to correct you here as you seem unclear.  A font rendered on
any screen at 5px or even 7px--pixels-- would be unreadable. Expect you mean
points which are ppi independent.

5px or 7px would be even worse if on a HiDPI display with DPI greater than ~165
ppi that effectively shrinks a pixel--"a pixel 1/72" is a pixel at 72 dpi". But
even on a legacy resolution 72 dpi screen a 5px font would be pretty much
unreadable. Your ~101 dpi display would be worse, but close to the internal LO
100% UI scaling at 96 ppi.

Maybe check with a utility like xruler, kruler, screenruler, etc. (I use
MioPlanets Pixel Ruler for Windows) to measure the actual pixel heights of
LibreOffice UI fonts--expect they will be above 10px at the ppi of your display
with no additional os/DE scaling.
