KDM fonts are controlled by kdmrc buried somewhere in the /usr/ rat's nest. I usually hunt that down, then make a symlink to its parent in /etc where it should be in the first place.
The file must be /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc. How does this relate to /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager?
There is a very minimal group of things in displaymanager that can override what's in kdmrc.
I know they have different settings. Perhaps displaymanager only has things common to all the login managers supported and not just kdm?
Likely. Why not open systemsettings and configure login manager to have fonts you like?
What DPI is your display actually? A laptop maybe?
Yep. A new Sony with an nvidia chipset (GeForce GT 425M (GF108)) that seems to have less-than-complete support in nvidia's own driver. No 3D effects, even though X claims it is enabling the stuff I think allows it. But that is a different issue. The display is:
dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (361x200 millimeters)
That's around 16".
resolution: 135x137 dots per inch
Rather high, at least compared to the 96 that Google Chrome and ReKonq always assume, and Gecko wants to assume.
After login, X reports:
[ 47.868] (II) NVIDIA(0): Validated modes: [ 47.868] (II) NVIDIA(0): "nvidia-auto-select" [ 47.868] (II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1920 x 1080 [ 48.690] (--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (135, 137); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config
The thing is, what Xorg.0.log reports for DPI doesn't always match what apps use...
After login the fonts are reasonable. It is only kdm that is off.
Everything's relative. Not everyone's idea of "reasonable" is the same. What does http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/dpi-screen-window.html as your DPI in each of your installed browsers? What DPI does KInfoCenter report for XServer? Can you upload a screenshot of your desktop somewhere where we can see what you find "reasonable"? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
