Title: huge fonts
Post by: Unforgiven1 on 29 September 2003, 11:07

I run red Hat 9.0  Some applications have unbearably huge fonts, like Open Office and kdict.  anyone know why this is happening and how I fix it?  I haven't installed any font packages to my knowledge, unless it was packaged in an RPM and I didn't see it....if this is the case, would anyone know the offending RPM and how to remove it.

I had the same problem after installing a debian package to enable Microsoft true type fonts and installing those fonts somehwere.  If you look in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 there should be a list of fonts somewhere - the ones at the top have highest priority and are used first, so try commenting out fonts one by one starting from the top and then restarting X.
