Sans Serif and monospace are aliases. In both 11.3 and 13.1 look to /etc/fonts/conf.d/58-suse-post-user.conf to see the preferential order in assigning installed fonts to these aliases. I expect that Arial is installed on your system using the smaller fonts in your screenshot jpg, but not on the system using the larger fonts. Arial is higher in the list than DejaVu, so where it's available it is what Sans Serif aliases to. Note that "installed fonts" means both fonts installed in the conventional "installation" sense, and any fonts present in ~./fonts.
I have just checked what fonts are installed on both systems. The 11.3 installation (with smaller fonts in the jpg) has "liberation-fonts-1.03-6.1.noarch" but no dejavu whereas the 12.3 installation (with larget fonts in the jpg) has "liberation-fonts-1.07.2-2.1.1.noarch" and "dejavu-fonts-2.33-6.1.1.noarch". So, it could be that 11.3 chooses liberation (since dejavu is not installed) and 12.3 chooses dejavu since it is installed. Probably, I should change the preferences in 12.3 and put "Liberation Sans" in front of "Dejavu Sans"? Gianluca
I see. I compared /etc/fonts/conf.d/58-suse-post-user.conf in both installations. They list the same for the first four but then they differ:
openSUSE 11.3:
<family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>Arial</family> <family>Albany AMT</family> <family>Verdana</family> <family>DejaVu Sans</family> <family>Liberation Sans</family> <family>SUSE Sans</family> <family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family> <family>Nimbus Sans L</family>
openSUSE 12.3:
<family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>Arial</family> <family>Albany AMT</family> <family>Verdana</family> <family>DejaVu Sans</family> <family>Droid Sans</family> <family>Arimo</family> <family>Liberation Sans</family> <family>Cantarell</family>
Could it be that I'm missing some fonts in 12.3? Maybe, Arial is missing. Is there a way to check it?
Thanks a lot,
Gianluca
