I am not sure if this is the fix to which you're referring, but it has helped me with a very similar problem with GTK apps. The source is Mark A. Taff: Open the file ~/.kde/share/config/gtkrc (or create it if it does not exist) and append this text (use whichever font, size, etc., you prefer): #=========================================== style "defaultfont" { font_name = "Adobe Helvetica 10" } widget_class "*" style "defaultfont" #=========================================== Save the file, then change the permissions so it is NOT writable by anyone (i.e., make it 'read-only'). This is needed because KDE will try to overwrite it at each login. -- Thomas Long

Followed your instructions to the letter. Unfortunately there is no change. Probably due to the dpi thing that Felix mentioned. Thanks for trying to help. If you have any further ideas they would most certainly be welcome. Bob S.
