Here we go again. teeny tiny barely readable fonts. (I am also sight impaired - macular degeneration) ....<snip some of my own stuff>,,, I am running SuSE 9.2, KDE 3.3.1. The tiny fonts are only in the gnome based applications. Firefox, NVU, and GQView. Now, I am talking ONLY about the fonts in the menus, dropdowns, URL bar, etc. I can change the fonts in the displayed material OK.
Same answer I gave less than 12 hours ago here. If Firefox fonts are wrong, most likely your DPI is wrong. Fix it before looking elsewhere. http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html
Felix, You are absolutely correct. I am running 800x600 on a 19" monitor (376x282 mm) and the dpi is 54x54. It should be somewhere around 96. I have tried everything that the referenced URL has stated and could not get it to work globally. I did "force" Firefox with the browser.display.screen_resolution by changing that from 0 to 96. That fixed Firefox. That leaves NVU Gimp & GQview with the teeny tiny fonts. There HAS to be a way to change the fonts size for the gtk stuff. Help ! Please? someone? anyone? How does one resolve this dpi thing? Bob S.
