https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223591 ------- Comment #7 from mfabian@novell.com 2006-11-27 08:38 MST ------- There are no differences by default, but there can be differences after doing something like this: - start kde session - start some kde and some gnome programs and firefox. (they will use the dpi value from the X-server now) - start gnome-font-properties and change the dpi - the changed dpi will be effective in all gnome programs immediately (see comment #13 in bug #193095: "GNOME stores the font options in GConf. Apps call cairo_set_font_options() dynamically when the GConf values get changed from the control center.") - the changed dpi will not be immediately effective neither in firefox nor in the KDE programs. - newly started firefox and KDE programs will see the changes as well because after changing the dpi with gnome-font-properties, the changed will be in the Xft.dpi X-Resource: mfabian@magellan:~$ xrdb -query | grep Xft Xft.antialias: 0 Xft.dpi: 69.000000 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: none mfabian@magellan:~$ - restart your KDE session. - Now firefox, the KDE programs and all the GNOME programs will use the dpi from the X-server again because KDE sets the following default values for the Xft.* X-resources: mfabian@magellan:~$ xrdb -query | grep Xft Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintfull Xft.rgba: none mfabian@magellan:~$ (KDE doesn't know that gconf has a changed dpi value) - start gnome-font-properties again: as soon as the gnome-font-properties window pops up the dpi value from gconf is applied to all gnome applications (but not to firefox and the KDE applications). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
