I'm know specialist in this area, but... Why are you looking for a change to gnome when you seam to have an XWindows problem? The DPI setting of your screen, can be changed via YAST2. Have you tried changing the setting there? JErry On Sunday 12 December 2004 08:49, B. Stia wrote:
Hello SuSE gurus,
Installed 9.2 on a new system (amd-64) Install was flawless. Never happier, fast !! Did all Yast updates
However, having trouble with several gnome based (gtk) apps. ie: Firefox,Gimp. NVU, and GQview having teeny tiny fonts that are almost unreadable. The problem is dpi vs. screen resolution which is obviously incorrect. I am speaking of the app menus, dropdown boxes, URL bar etc.
I run a 20" Viewsonic monitor which shows via xdpyinfo as 375x282 mm but shows dpi of 54. Should be about 96 dpi. Have tried all of the options in http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html which don't work except for Firefox where I can force the dpi option. That still leaves me with NVU, Gimp, and GQview with the "teeny tiny fonts"
Almost 2 years ago I had the same problem in 8.2. Ben Rosenberg told me about gnomecc which fixed the global problem. Seems that is no longer true with 9.2. there is no gnomecc or equivalent. Is that now gconf-editor?, which I can't get to run? (Maybe not enough Gnome stuff installed)
Anyway, need big-time help from the guru's on this list. I cannot see the menus, dropdown boxes etc. on the gtk apps. What must I do to change the dpi to the proper number and get the app menus to be readable???
I know,very confusing. So many different things. Specific questions which I have not explained will be gladly answered.
