[opensuse] Atavistic Gtk+ font rendering - last few days - taller/shorter?
All, Maybe my eyes are just getting old, but on the past boot after the Nvidia update (I'm not sure what else came in with it), I noticed the fonts in Gtk+ apps were rendering a pixel or two *taller* than normal. The width remained the same. It was just as if the font glyphs were stretched up enough to notice. It was most notable in apps like Tbird where you have both bold and regular fonts side-by-side like with unread/read mail subject lines in the message list window. After reboot today after a dozen or so KDE3 updates, all is back to normal. (kudos to the openSUSE devs with the continue KDE3 tweaks -- that desktop is in the best shape it has ever been -- system and desktop all fully loaded in less than 250K of RAM) Nothing like having a fully-capable desktop that just works -- no surprises :) The KDE fonts were never impacted, only the Gtk+ fonts (I didn't check, but it could have to do with the kcontrol setting of "Use my KDE fonts in Gtk applications" that may have seen a regressing in the builds over the past few days). Regardless, it is back to normal now, but it was curious enough I thought I would pass it along in case anyone else noticed the difference. I doubt it was KDE3 specific -- but may have been. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
