A friend with macular degeneration is no longer able to see well enough to even initialize the openSUSE installation process, so brought his system to me to install 12.1 for him; and because Orca was recommended to him, and because GTK apps cannot be made to obey KDE font settings even with kcm_gtk enabled, install Gnome, though he strongly prefers KDE3. In my estimation, he'll wish to scale up to slightly more than 2.0, to maybe as much as 2.5, so the screenshot won't be too off from a real world situation. 2-screenshot was taken before setting HighContrast and LargePrint 3-3D is not supported by the (default) installed video driver (nouveau) 4-DisplaySize is set to produce 180 DPI in KDE, which Gnome disregards -- 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.
