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 ??

Bob, basically, you started at the wrong end. You should not have messed with the individual configuration parameters for each program subsystem, instead if you should have told X-Windows that the screen had a different DPI (number of dots per inch) In this way, you get X-Windows to use more dots for each inch, since you are lying (about the DPI), you actually increase the size X-Windows display everything. One change, and everything works! Jerry
