Hi Guys,
Recently I had these updates:

Code: Select all

    Tue Dec  3 18:21:02 2024 >>> xfce-base/libxfce4util-4.19.5
     Tue Dec  3 18:21:28 2024 >>> xfce-base/xfconf-4.19.5
     Tue Dec  3 18:21:56 2024 >>> xfce-base/tumbler-4.19.3
     Tue Dec  3 18:22:24 2024 >>> xfce-base/libxfce4ui-4.19.7
     Tue Dec  3 18:22:49 2024 >>> xfce-base/exo-4.19.2
     Tue Dec  3 18:23:11 2024 >>> xfce-base/garcon-4.19.3
     Tue Dec  3 18:23:39 2024 >>> xfce-base/libxfce4windowing-4.19.10
     Tue Dec  3 18:24:11 2024 >>> xfce-base/xfwm4-4.19.1
     Tue Dec  3 18:25:06 2024 >>> xfce-base/xfce4-panel-4.19.7
     Tue Dec  3 18:25:25 2024 >>> xfce-base/xfce4-appfinder-4.19.4
     Tue Dec  3 18:26:09 2024 >>> xfce-base/xfce4-settings-4.19.4
     Tue Dec  3 18:27:07 2024 >>> xfce-base/thunar-4.19.5
     Tue Dec  3 18:27:37 2024 >>> xfce-base/xfce4-power-manager-4.19.5
     Tue Dec  3 18:28:05 2024 >>> xfce-base/xfce4-session-4.19.4
     Tue Dec  3 18:28:25 2024 >>> xfce-base/thunar-volman-4.19.1
     Tue Dec  3 18:28:54 2024 >>> xfce-base/xfdesktop-4.19.7

Since then the fonts become minimal in every reboot and I have to reset them via settings.
Which of the above should i probably downgrade?
Thanks a lot...
:)

Not sure if you're still interested in a reply, but I had a similar issue, and solved it using advice from here: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=7734

It turned out to be an issue with my dpi (dots per inch).

I was able to fix it using the advice from ToZ:
How about Settings Manager -> Appearance -> Fonts Tab -> DPI setting?
I encountered this issue after switching my desktop environment from gnome to xfce, and switching my display manager about 5 times (gdm -> lightdm -> xdm -> greetd -> lightdm), and various depclean and emptytree emerges, while fixing other errors that I, myself, created.

Hope this is helpful.

Upstream bug: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-sett ... issues/572
Should be fixed in xfce-base/xfce4-settings-4.20.1.
