Hi, folks
I have two computers with identical monitors (Samsung SyncMaster 2232BW), which are configured identically in Yast/Sax2. This model is not there, so they are configured as LCD 1680x1050, 20". Fonts are configured with the same types and sizes in KDE's System Settings in both machines. However, in one of them the fonts are displayed slightly bigger than in the other. What may be causing this? The video cards are different, may this have something to do with the problem? Other than the card specific settings, I can see no other significant differences in xorg.conf in both machines.
Most likely the issues is a difference in the display resolution used to compute how many pixels corresponds to a point (roughly 1/72 of an inch)... or any other absolute size.
There are, unfortunately, many places this can be set. A KDE default can be configured in the KDE Control Center, but other applications (Adobe Reader and Firefox come to mind) have their on DPI configurations.
It seems the problem is indeed the DPI configuration, in spite of the monitors being configured the same way in both machines. Both machines have the "Force fonts DPI" option in KDE4's System Settings set to "Disabled". If I force a higher DPI in the machine where the fonts are smaller, they get bigger, but only for KDE applications (of course). Pure Qt applications stay the same and I suppose GTK applications too. Do you know where does KDE get DPI settings from when "Force fonts DPI" is set to "Disabled"?
