[opensuse] YaST font different from KDE apps?
Hi, I am using Liberation fonts with Liberation Sans being my KDE desktop font. Quite happy with how its looks (even better with subpixel hinting) but noticed an issue with YaST. Fonts in YaST seems to be little different from the other apps. I need second (third, forth, more the marrier) opinion if it is indeed a different font or not. I have attached a snapshot. And if it is a different font then its a bug in Yast to ignore fonts imposed by kde configuration. Thanks, Mohammad

YaST is not a KDE / libQt-based application, hence it knows not of the font settings established by the KDE control panel. This is true of many applications, especially those built for generic Linux use. Firefox is one example. There are many. It's an unfortunate fact that it is not possible to configure all the font characteristics for all applications in a single place. The KDE settings covers one subset, the Gnome control panel's font settings cover another and a significant portion (including all Java-based applications) are self-contained w.r.t. font configuration.
Thanks,
Mohammad

Understood. I assumed YaSt to be based on KDE. What is the default font in YaST? Where can I configure that? But then why the original fonts with default installation (with MS fonts) were same everywhere (KDE & YaST). Once changed to Liberation fonts in KDE, KDE apps shows Liberation fonts where YaSt shows the one which I am trying to know what font that is? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
