Using Blender 2.92.0

It seems this issue is kind of interesting. I've adjusted the font sizes to where they seem usable for me, great :) However loading up a saved file *.blend file and the UI elements in Blender itself get changed. Is there a way to get Blender to not resize its own UI settings when loading a drawing? Or save off the portion of the UI settings and only load them or merge/replace them in the saved drawing file?

Expected: Blender's UI fonts remain to a user's settings/preferences.

Actual: New drawing just selecting General from startup splash screen (desired settings) enter image description here

Open saved drawing: enter image description here

    $\begingroup$ Have you tried using the Resolution Scale factor instead of adjusting font sizes? Your UI should look less wonky if you adjust the scale that way. $\endgroup$

To stop loaded files from changing your preferences, go to User Preferences under Edit > Preferences and under the Save & Load category, look for the Load UI checkbox. Uncheck it.

Then, while still in Preferences, go to the Interface category and click in the Resolution Scale text field. Enter a new value for the scale. You will want it to be some value greater than 1.
