Big fonts


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I succeeded in getting online with Mandrake 10 (don't ask me how... ;) ).

I'm running it on my laptop with a screen resolution of 1400x1050, and everything's set up correctly.

Font's are just fine in all KDE-Apps. But in other (not-native KDE) apps such as mozilla and amsn, fonts are awfuly BIG. :blink:

I just can't find where to change this size... any ideas?

Thx,

Slike

Why would he want to log out to run a program that he could run in KDE?

If you have GNOME installed, Slike, run gnome-font-properties and change the sizes. While that may work, I have a feeling that it is actually a DPI setting that is out of whack. I experienced the same problem when experimenting with Fluxbox. GTK apps had huge fonts. I changed the DPI from 96 to 72 and everything looked good again.

firefox uses gtk2. The easiest way I could think of to change gtk2 settings is to log into gnome. running gnome-font-properties is another method. but I am too stupid to think of that. also you might want to check what your screen is supposed to be using for resolution. I use 96, but then I am on a laptop. Most crts use 72.

This works indeed :)

But it doesn't affect programs like amsn... where can I change the font-settings for such a programs?

Thx,
