                  <div>Can anyone reproduce this? All I have in my
                    sample file is \usepackage{bbding} in the preamble,
                    and something like \Checkmark{} or \FiveStar{} in
                    the body of the file. These used to come out to
                    scale with the text, and now they are absolutely
                    enormous in the PDF. Doesn't seem to depend on
                    whether non-TeX fonts are used. I have LyX 2.3.3 on
                    Linux Mint; I think at least as recently as this
                    past May (2.3.2?), bbding worked fine.</div>

              Do you consider the check mark and star in the attached
              PDF huge or to scale? This was also done on Linux Mint
              using LyX 2.3.3.<br>

    The good news first: you're not hallucinating. Those really are
    large icons.<br>
    The bad news: when I compile your file, I get normal size icons.<br>
    <br>
    I cannot find any non-default settings in your document that could
    account for what you are seeing. Grasping at straws, you might try
    looking at the full LaTeX source (View > Code Preview Pane, then
    select "LaTeX (pdflatex)" and "Complete Source" in the preview pane.

    Do you see any differences at your end? For that matter, are you
    using pdflatex? (I tried a few other routes to PDF output, and none
    of them gave me Brobdingnagian symbols.)<br>
