I am sight impaired. I need decent sized fonts. Running 11.1 with KDE 4.1 Two separate issues with font size.
Yast. - Even though I have set the GTK fonts to use my KDE fonts (16 points) it insists on using the small 8 pt. font. What is Yast's problem?
YaST2 fonts are set by QT, unaffected by Gnome or KDE font settings. It's at least one open bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446713
Set the size via qtconfig, or edit ~/.config/Trolltech.conf directly.
Felix, (post trimmed significantly)
As you suggested, I used qtconfig and this changed the fonts in Yast's applets satisfactorily. (afterr having tried kcontrol which did not work) I reported back however that it did not change anything for the Yast menu. Jan stated:
qtconfig, kcontrol), and, thus, the correct path
You repled back to Jan:
If logged in as root, then that would be the applicable path. But, I don't believe when you start YaST2 as normal user and it asks the root password that it uses anything other than settings found either in ~/.config/Trolltech.conf, or /usr/share/desktop-data/qtrc or /etc/X11/qtrc if a font= line in Trolltech.conf doesn't exit.
Now after having read that I looked at /usr/share/desktop-data/qtrc and /etc/X11/qtrc and found them both showing the small font size, I changed them both and again opened Yast. Voila ! One of them changed the Yast menu to my chosen font size. Don't know why or which one, Just a FYI. Now then, on to my other font problem with console/teminal small fonts. In your original reply to me,you stated: "Console font size is normally set by the VGA= parameter on the kernel line: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Framebuffer-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.3" So I went to that url and saw that there was a vga statement in LILO but I assumed it would apply to Grub as well. Went to my menu.lst file and there is a vga statement. It is vga=0x346. I changed that to 0x31a and rebooted. No change in font sizes while booting. Am I going about this in the right way? Can you suggest a proper vga statement? I have a 21" lcd with 1600x1200 res.
