Do you think that this could also be an issue for Kylix from Borland? I installed 9.3, then installed Kylix. The fonts were very tiny, plus sizes of tabs, etc., were messed up making Kylix unusable. Finally had to reinstall 9.2 in order to be able to use it. There are some things about 9.3 that I really like, but still have to be able to use Kylix for development. -----Original Message----- From: Felix Miata [mailto:mrmazda@ij.net] Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2005 6:23 AM To: suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Tiny fonts again Vladimir Niksic wrote:
I have had the same problem with a new 19" monitor on 1600x1200. When I set the higher DPI, everything works fine in konqueror, all the KDE stuff, all the gnome stuff, but in mozilla, everything is so damned tiny. It just refuses to use the system DPI setting. I've tried everything, and I gave up. I just press CTRL +, and weep. :-)
This is not necessary. If you're using a GTK1 mozilla.org version, switch to a gtk2+xft version. The problem is that in distro releases that include xft/fontconfig, there is more than one system DPI. Moz does use one of them. Check http://members.ij.net/mrmazda/auth/dpi-screen-window.html to see the one Moz uses, and compare to the one reported by KDE Info Center (which is from xdpyinfo). Read http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html to find out how to deal with DPI issues. -- "Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made."
