I'm getting started with SuSE and have struck a small problem. I am running V.7.3 (Pro distribution) on a dual boot system with NT4. When logged in as root the Konsole window opens, confined to a narrow window on the left of the screen, and the prompt is very difficult to read with letters squashed together. If I issue a command the response is also unreadable. Making the window full size does nothing for the text and adjusting the settings does not appear to work! If I login with my normal user login, (John) the Konsole window is quite OK and text is very readable, and yet the settings appear to be the same for root as for user. I have read the KDE Konsole instructions but I must be missing something as I can't adjust the settings to resolve this. I daresay a re-install would resolve it, and I am happy to do so. I think it's a breeze after windoze installs, although I would rather try and understand what the problem is. Any pointers appreciated. John

Thanks Martijn, that worked OK. I then Saved settings and exited, but a restart of Konsole has me back with the squashed letters.... How do I retain the settings? John

John I don't know but I'm having a guess here. Have you logged in as root and checked your font setting in the control center? Eddie On Tuesday 16 April 2002 12:57 pm, John Blue wrote:

I get the same problem if I have anti-alias checked. If I turn off font anti-alias, the consoles display text properly. Erika
