Excellent suggestion David.  I downloaded this tool and was able to
change the fonts to a better size.  The results can be seen here:

Now the only remaining problem is that the icons (torso on the left
and rating stars on the right remain too large.  These are forcing too
much space between entries in the list.  I tried using qt5ct to play
around with icon themes but that doesn't affect these icons.  I doubt
that anyone here can suggest a fix, but just in case, I'll post this.

It does seem that the Qt5 library defaults are messing with the
way Qt programs display.  Is anyone else experiencing similar
problems?
