I don't have a .gtkrc or .gtkrc-2.0 in my home directory. I did a locate on gtkrc and came up with at least 50 of them. Checked everyone of them with no results. I then started to go into the individual apps and made changes with no effect. In Firefox and NVU I went in and added the userchrome.css. Course I may not be editing that properly.
I have 5 apps, all with the same problem, Firefox, NVU, GQView, Gimp, and IglooFTP-Pro. Can't use any of them without straining my eyes to read the menus.
I have googled this list without any solution. Guess I need to try again. I really don't understand this. You'd think by now there would be a simple solution. Just wish that one of the Guru's on this list would reply with a fix.
If you have any other ideas I would sure love to hear them.
I don't recall you or anyone else responding to my reply upthread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=suse-linux-e&m=111632911014137&w=2
Thanks for replying. I know you are a regular contributor to this list and inpart valuable info to all of us. However, as far as I know, what you are stating doesn't apply. If I am wrong PLEASE yell at me.
ie: I downloaded and copied that page feferenced in your post. The problem is not just with Mozilla/Firefox. It is with Gimp, GQView, NVU, & Igloo FTP Pro. I can increase the dpi to very high values. This has the effect of enlarging the display of the app by a great magnitude. However, no matter the size of the display the fonts size remains the same teeny size. (sans 6 in Firefox & NVU. I assume the same with the other apps). As stated above, I even tried the UserChrome.css as suggessted on the Mozilla page. Doesn't work, This HAS to be a systemwide GTK font issue as it effects every app in that category. I thank you for trying. I have tried every suggestion posted here with the same results. If you have any other ideas or suggestions I would welcome them.
If they won't run from a konsole, probably have to figure out where gnome-control-center (for GTK2) and gnomecc (for GTK1) are hiding amongst SuSE packages for ultimate GTK1/2 app solutions, and if they don't exist, what equivalent(s) SuSE provides. I don't know. I don't have access to 9.2 ATM. Is gimp-2.0.4 what you have installed? I've looked through the following: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=suse-linux-e&m=111631260231540&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=suse-linux-e&m=111648532321081&w=2 http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=suse-linux-e&m=111654942522887&w=2 in addition to your current posts without finding *detail* on settings or what you've tried. You may have an installed fonts packages problem in addition to a gtkrc problem. Is your 9.2 install an upgrade install? Do you have both *75dpi* and *100dpi* rpms installed? List all font packages installed. It may provide an answer or clue. Don't email these to me or the list, so I hope you have web space to show me Firefox screenshots of these: http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/dpi-screen-window.html http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/PointsDemo.html http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/fonts-face-samplesL.html http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/fonts-menu-comp-ff.html ... & a screenshot of your entire desktop with NVU, Gimp, GQview & kinfocenter all open on it. Show me the contents and exact location of your Firefox userChrome.css file. I've never heard of a valid and properly located userChrome.css file being ignored by Firefox. What does 'xdpyinfo | grep resolution' report? Which config file, XF86Config or xorg.conf or XF86Config-4, is newest in /etc/X11? In the above, in 'Section "Monitor"', what is the complete "DisplaySize" line? In /etc/X11/Xresources, if there is a line with 'Xft.dpi', what is the whole line? In /etc/opt/kde3/share/config/kdm/kdmrc what are the lines Verdi March wrote about? If you extract the contents of http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/pub/multimedia/fonts/mswbfnts.zip into ~/.fonts, does anything in Firefox improve? In Nvu? In anything else? Does anything change if you use the generic nvidia driver? -- "Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made." John 1:3 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
