I have installed font packages and now fonts of yast2 titles, like "Starting the Software Manager", "Hardware Information" etc. are different and ugly. How cold I trace which font is used for these titles and set it back to the original one?
Look in the alias list /etc/fonts/suse-post-user.conf. You can order those however you like to implement a system-wide change.
Also you may find different font sizes in YaST2 than elsewhere if you don't run qtconfig to change QT font size to match sizes you change in "personal settings" -> "fonts".
Also, remember that Yast2 runs as root and therefore reads the root user's profile rather than the currently logged-on user, so in order to change Yast2's appearance (themes, colours etc.) you have to set those for root to match your normal user profile (at least, I found that to be the case for KDE4).
Thanks four your replies and sorry for the delayed response.
In /etc/fonts/suse-post-user.conf I have the following entries as the first few at each main groups:
<family>serif</family> <prefer> <family>Times New Roman</family> <family>Thorndale AMT</family> <family>DejaVu Serif</family> ...
<family>sans-serif</family> <prefer> <family>Arial</family> <family>Albany AMT</family> <family>Verdana</family> ...
<family>monospace</family> <prefer> <family>Courier New</family> <family>Consolas</family> <family>Andale Mono</family>
Are all 3 of those in the sans-serif list actually installed? If not, something else lower in the list is being used for /etc/sysconfig Editor. Likely #s 4-5 are DejaVu Sans/Bitstream Vera Sans.
None of these that I have at all looks similar to the one is used in yast2 titles. And, if I change font type in qtconfig as root, the font type in yast window changes immediately except the abovementioned title font. It remains strange and ugly.
The trouble with the font used for /etc/sysconfig Editor looks like one of hinting/bytecode. Which openSUSE version are you using? Exactly which font package(s) did you install? Which X desktop do you use?
See the sample images, in qtconfig font type/size is set to:
Sans Serif 10 pt: http://i40.tinypic.com/34tem80.jpg
Sans Serif 14 pt: http://i42.tinypic.com/rw15y0.jpg
Serif 10 pt: http://i40.tinypic.com/2m349cm.jpg
Serif 14 pt: http://i43.tinypic.com/in5mit.jpg
The text "/etc/sysconfig Editor" looked normal earlier. How could I change it back to use normal font?
Maybe reinstalling DejaVu fonts will fix your problem, or adding Liberation fonts. If you still have an agfa-fonts rpm available, which supplies Thorndale and Albany AMT, try installing it. Or if you don't have M$ fonts installed, try installing them, or at least Arial (and/or Verdana if you can stand its bloated x-height). Also verify in your desktop's fonts settings that suitable settings for anti-alias and hinting exist. I think the hinting default is "full", which I dislike (as it usually looks more like "none") and always change to "medium". -- "Suppos [sic] a nation in some distant region, should take the Bible for their only law book, and every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited. . . .
