 Posted: Mon Jun 30, 2003 8:01 am Post subject: Mozilla, Evolution and Galeon menu fonts are big! and weird! |
 |
|
Hi
Have a nice gnome2 desktop, with Vera fonts in my laptop, and all apps show great, except these three. The issue is the same in all; the contests (e.g. a web page) is shown wonderfull, but the main menu bars and pulldown menus looks bigger than the rest and the fonts are different, seems that they are using maybe builtin fonts or not finding where the proper fonts are.
I know galeon can show itself much better as in my other computer it shows great with small tt fonts,!
Any ideas? I have reading several posts regarding fonts, have re-emerge mozilla, galeon, messed up with /etc/fonts/local.conf
I need to have this solved in two days, please any help would be greatly appreciated.
E. |

I solved the Problem in Mozilla this way: put following in your userChrome.css for smaller Menufonts
menubar, menubutton, menulist, menu, menuitem {
font-family: <yourFont> !important;
font-style: italic !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
font-size: <yoursize> !important;
}
If the complete Chrome Fonts are to big try these instead:
* {
font-family: <yourfont> !important;
font-style: italic !important;
font-weight: bold !important;
font-size: <yoursize> !important;
} |

Hi,
I take a rough approach for this, just removed gtk and insert gtk2 in my USE var. This means getting inestable, and this is the laptop i use in my work so i do not like it but after reemerging mozilla, galeon and evolution the fonts look amazingly good!
thanks |

I have the same problem, but it only revealed itselft once I changed my USE var and inserted gtk2... after that I reemerged firebird and evolution, and I really don't like the look of those program fonts by now... For firebird, I found a theme that makes it a little bit better, but still not good enought!
I believe that if I reemerge those programs using gtk instead of gtk2, I'll get what I want, but I'ld like to understand why this appends...
btw, one interesting thing is that those fonts look good when using some window managers and bad with another window managers!! There must be a place to configure this somewhere!

Did you not have that weird menu fonts in other gtk2 apps?

Yes, I have the same problem in every gtk2 programs, I guess... I've only compiled evolution and firebird with that so far, but I'm sure that's a gtk2 problem!
I do believe there's some solution for it, because the problem only reveals itself when using some window managers, there must be a special configuration or something like that, that solves the problem!

Ok... Hm....
Are you using more agressive CFLAGS or more konservative ones? I use farther agressive ones on pentium4 and I am trying to use less agressive ones now on gtk2 and so on, lets see...

Thanx for that tip; I was already pulling all of my hair out!

I did that:
1. gconf-editor
set the value of
desktop -> font_rendering -> dpi
/usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon --oaf-ior-fd=15
2. launch this:
/usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon --oaf-ior-fd=15
3. launch my application
I hope that will help

Ooops :
dont put /usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon --oaf-ior-fd=15 as a value for desktop -> font_rendering -> dpi, its a copy/paste error
just put a number

thanks but that's not a solution for me... I haven't either gconf-editor nor gnome-settings-daemon ...
I don't have gnome installed... but thanks anyway

If you don't have Gnome installed, changing font.uifont.* in [url]about:config[/url] may help, but IIRC the necessary
patch is missing in Gentoo. |

May be USE="cjk" for fontconfig and freetype and startx -- -dpi 100 helps?
Like in my other thread?
At how much dpi runs your XServer?

All Graphical Login managers ({x|g|k|e|w}dm) dont care about startx file and ~/.xinitrc. They read ~/.Xsessionrc and something in /etc/X11 with *session* in its name, I dont use them, so I dont know exactly what files these are in special.

Kewli. I'll check those out. It's just hard to find out what syntax to use for these files. Can anyone point me to a good resource for this type of thing?
