Hello SuSE people,
Here we go again. Got a beautiful new 21" lcd monitor fron all of my children for the old guys's birthday. Installed jusr fine. (Samsung )
Of courae with higher resolutions I had to change icons and fonts in KDE. Not a problem. But when it comes to Firefox, GQview, Gimp, and the KDM logon screen, I end up with teeny tint fonts. Less than 1/8" high and almost impossibe for the old guy to read. Fixed the KDM logon screen by editing kdmrc.
This happened a couple of years ago in 8.0? and I fixed it by running gnomecc. Don't have that anymore in 9.2.
Suggestions on how to increase font sizes in X for the apps that KDE doesn't handle ??

I'm not sure this is the right way to do it or not, however this solution has worked out for me. First, try to get the gtk-qt-engine package from kde-look.org. Compile, install and go to the kde control center ( you will see an icon under Appearance & Themes -> GTK Styles & Fonts) and change your gtk settings for kde as you wish. If this does not work for you, try as a regular user and as root and run "gnome-font-properties" in SuSE its in /opt/gnome/bin/ and change font properties for gnome to a larger size both as regular user and as root. It may not be the "correct" solution but it has worked for me. Cheers, Rodney
