Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)
Short description of error
The n-panel font sized increased in 3.1 comared to 3.0
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
The space of the n-panel is super limited as we all know.
In 3.1 the fontsize increased.
Steps to reproduce
Please open Blender 3.0 and Blender 3.1 with the n-panel open and switch between boths windows. you should see that the n-panel text appears bigger/bolder in 3.1.
Workaround: Decrease in Themes -> Text Style the Widget points to 10. Then the n-panel has the same/a similar font size as in 3.0, but a lot of other ui elements workspace tabs get also in decreased size, which makes them appear much smaller as in 3.0.

Cannot confirm that here. Can you check with File -> Defaults -> Load Factory Settings?
intresting, that's it's not broken for you.
Even if start Blender with an empty profile the n-tab fonts are too big.
Load Factory Setting is of course also not helping for me.
That's how it's looking with a complete fresh profile for 3.1:
just tested it on a fresh install on macOS.
Also on macOS the fonts size of the n-panel appears bigger als in 3.0
it may be that not the font size is increased, but the font in the n-panel is bold know.
that's the theory of an other Blender user I know who just confirmed the bug.

Changed status from 'Needs Triage' to: 'Needs Developer To Reproduce'
Hi, Thanks for the report. I can confirm.
Not sure if change was intentional or came with some other improvements.
I'd like to know from developers if it's worth fixing this (Not very critical issue I think)
@PratikPB2123
Thank you for confirming.
I agree with you that this may be not a super high critical bug, but I think it should be fixed.
If you have a lot of addons in the n-panel, space is very valuable and this bug makes the space issue even more worse.
Of course, it would be better if we would get a solution which fixes the space issue for the n-tab in general (like change the panel text to icons and make the n-tab area scrollable), but I see discussions since years about this topic and there is still no solution how to improve the n-tab ui. And I think it's more realistic that we get the n-tab font size/weight reverted as a general n-tab revise ;)

Still broken in Blender 3.1.2
Yes, that is expected. This complaint was on March 9 and I committed that fix on Marth 13, all within the Bcon1 release cycle of 3.2.
Had this complaint come in between October 27th 2021 and mid-February, I could have gotten this fix into 3.1. But it was in "bug-fixing only" status from January 28th until March 2. I wouldn't consider this important enough to backport to the 3.1.x corrective release(s).
Ah okay, thanks for clarification. So we will wait for 3.2.
However, thank you for fixing it.
No worries. Thank you for reporting the issue.
