I am sight impaired. I need decent sized fonts. Running 11.1 with KDE 4.1 Two separate issues with font size.
Yast. - Even though I have set the GTK fonts to use my KDE fonts (16 points) it insists on using the small 8 pt. font. What is Yast's problem?
YaST2 fonts are set by QT, unaffected by Gnome or KDE font settings. It's at least one open bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=446713
That's not completely true. See Will's Comment #10. The yast control center uses the font set by kcontrol of KDE3.
446713 only has 2 comments. Where is" Will's Comment #10"?
Oh, I am so sorry! I followed the link in 446713 to 438874. There Will's comment is: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=438874#c10
The YaST2 control window itself uses KDE3 fonts, but the only thing you can do with it is open the various YaST applets, all of which ignore the fonts specified by KDE & Gnome.
Could you please respond to Comment #11? There Dirk states that KDE4 exports its font stettings to yast. IIRC this is not true, I will try it myself later on.
Set the size via qtconfig, or edit ~/.config/Trolltech.conf directly.
For the font of the yast control center, use kcontrol.
Which helps not with the YaST2 applets.
Sure, regarding yast modules you are AFAIK right, but I never said anything else.
I doubt OP would have started this thread if the fonts in the YaST2 control panel were his problem, because he already used KControl to set his fonts to 16.
Okay. I did not get this. That is, he actually did not write that in his posting. Additionally, he is complaining about the font size in yast control center right now (Mon, 23 Feb 2009 00:03:39 -0500).
And, IIRC, all these programs have to be started as root (systemsettings, qtconfig, kcontrol), and, thus, the correct path is "/root/.config/Trolltech.conf".
If logged in as root, then that would be the applicable path.
Exactly: "if". I just wanted to make it as clear as possible.
But, I don't believe when you start YaST2 as normal user and it asks the root password that it uses anything other than settings found either in ~/.config/Trolltech.conf, or /usr/share/desktop-data/qtrc or /etc/X11/qtrc if a font= line in Trolltech.conf doesn't exit.
Totally.
I find it hard to believe after all these years since the first version of YaST2 that people have to continue suffering this nonsense of YaST2 aka QT not respecting fonts selected by a user in his normal desktop settings application. One place to set X fonts should be plenty.
Well, this would be desirable. But I would have no idea to implement that. Perhaps this is something for openFATE?
