Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2021 13:17:44 +0300

In emacs -Q, I can see that Info-quoted face is too small and has no
attributes, it does not help in readability of the info file. 

Face: Info-quoted (sample) (customize this face)

Documentation:
Face used for quoted elements.

Defined in ‘info.el’.

That's something specific to your setup, I don't see any such problem
here.

What are the attributes of the fixed-pitch-serif face on that system?

So what is this "Monospace Serif" font used here?

What does the following produce (in "emacs -Q", please):

  M-: (face-font 'fixed-pitch-serif) RET

And the same for 'default face?

This looks like fontconfig fallbacks to some xorg default bitmap font
(and it is also not configured to scale bitmap fonts). You may configure
fontconfig to recognize "Monospace Serif" family explicitly or you can
install any font family listed in `face-font-family-alternatives`. For
example, you can install 'gnu fonts' package and emacs will use FreeMono
family provided by the package as alternative to Monospace Serif.

My Emacs looks fine, but I do not have many fonts installed. In
relation to handling

When info manual is opened first time, the Info-quote looks about same
as the other fonts. But if other font like default is enlargerd or
zoomed, Info quote remains so small.

You may see it on the attached screenshot, where it says 'GNU Emacs
Lisp Reference Manual'

I have installed package GNU fonts and it looks now better, there is
no zooming problem.

Yet I am not sure if it is Emacs problem or not.

That's because the font used for fixed-pitch-serif is bitmapped, so it
doesn't scale.  You need to install better fonts, as someone
suggested.

I don't think it's an Emacs problem.
