Not sure how they are "cut-off" since I can't really tell from the JPEG images. It is best to use a PNG image when you want a problem diagnosed.

Have uploaded 2 more images ([1]) (.png) that show the cut-off icons from Dolphin and Gwenview toolbars. They are at higher resolution, so it should be seen on these.

...

Try to add Option "DPI" "98x98" in /etc/xorg.conf Section "Monitor", save it and then restart X. Log out and back log in should be enough.

See is that helps. If not change number to 99x99 and repeat save and restart.

This did not make any change, the icons (lower parts) still get cut.

Correction: It is the _text_ under the icons that is cut-off (as mentioned in the OP). (Pl see the 2 images [1] & [2], after clicking on the (+) handle on the image to zoom-in)

Try making the Toolbar and Small fonts use a smaller one. The screenshot is slightly blurred, but that looks like a 9 - which is quick big.

Tried changing the font size (for Toolbars) from 9 to 8, but that also does not help.

It appears that somehow you do not have wrapping for icon lables/text as you only get one line. I am still on 3.5 and get two lines wrapped, but not a third and see "cut-off" on the end of the second line, ie: xxx.....

Other than cramming more text via smaller display size in the same area, I cannot see where the font is causal.

It is cutting off the top of the letters. Which I can't see here. I use nvidia proprietary driver, but they are not the same :-) (I know it is obvious, but people do forget that sometimes).

One last shot, perhaps the display size in xorg.conf is incorrect??? -- Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://counter.li.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

May not be directly related to this (toolbar text cut-off), but the solution mentioned at this thread helped me to get a clear display of fonts in openSUSE in general, for both- GNOME & KDE. http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2009-08/msg01417.html Jay -- Linux User 483705 | openSUSE 11.1, Ubuntu 9.04 (i686) w/ Windows XP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
