 Posted: Mon Nov 18, 2002 8:55 pm Post subject: Huge fonts? |
 |
|
Hello,
I am currently experiencing some difficulities with X. I am using fluxbox as window manager (which doesn't seem to be the problem since englightenment has the same problem ) and my fonts are kind of huge. (I have made an example screenshot of aMSN (but many other applications (like mozilla on pages where no font is specified) experience this problem too) available at http://130.89.169.72/snapshot.png)
This is how the fonts part of my XF86Config looks like:
| Code: |
Section "Files"
RgbPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/korean:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-2/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-9/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/ISO8859-9/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/misc:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/KOI8-R/75dpi:unscaled"
EndSection
|
Anyone has any idea at all what the problem could be, and if not, what information I should post?
Thanks in advance.

I think you may need to take "unscaled" off of some of those directories. My XF86Config looks like this:
| Code: | FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/local/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/truetype/"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/freefont/" |

Try commenting out the line
| Code: | | DisplaySize 211.666666667 158.75 |
or change the values.
This tells X that you have a monitor that's 21cm by 16 cm (very small!). Later on in your config file, you want a resolution of 1280x1024. This is equivalent to 152 dots per inch (dpi). This will cause X to blow up the fonts. And since your monitor is most likely about twice as big (thereby leaving you with around 70 dpi) the fonts will look huge. |
