Well, kakaroto, it's not our duty to solve AMD/Ati drivers problems,
aMSN is not to blame for that! :)
I'll give you an example: as you said, aMSN default font size is 11.
Let's suppose our system default general font is DejaVu Sans 9 (I
think it actually is, on Ubuntu...). To make its size look like all of
the other apps, you have to reduce font size to 10.
Now, let's suppose I set Ubuntu fonts to Dejavu Sans 10 and keep
Helvetica 11 on aMSN. There's no difference.
<detective_mode>I think we should consider aMSN font size as *system
default size +1".</detective_mode>
I tried this on my friend's system too (Kubuntu 8.10), and I had to
set his font size from Nimbus Sans 11 to Nimbus Sans 10 (by the way,
it's really a nice font), while his system fonts were Bitstream Vera
9.
SOLUTION:
if { [OnMac] } {
setGlobalKey basefont [list {Lucida Grande} 12 normal] ;
base font
} elseif { [OnWin] } {
setGlobalKey basefont [list Arial 10 normal]
} else {
setGlobalKey basefont [list Helvetica 10 normal] ;
}
And, obviously, decreasing main window and chat windows resolutions accordingly.
These are just my suppositions; I'm human and I might be wrong. ^_^"
Just tell me what you think about it.
