Hi, Regarding "dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-m" being 17 pixel fonts:
I agree that 17 pixel "medium" font looks somewhat big, even on a nearly 100 dpi display. On my workstation I usually select "small" fonts as default in the preferences application. When choosing font sizes for the configurations I simply followed the recommendation of the DtStdInterfaceFontNames.5 man page as well as the existing practice of font.alias files that are provided with the CDE, which have 16,17 or even 18 pixel fonts for medium size. Probably the generation script should allow to chose base font size and desired display resolution. On the other hand I do not see font size selection being anyhow related to the problem you are having with your LTSP based setup at work. On the screenshot I see a proportional serif font being used, in spite of the '-dt-interface user..' and '-dt-interface system..' aliases being mapped to "arial" or "courier new". You even got proportional fonts in dtterm, and font of minimized icons, that must be smaller, is exactly of the same size as one on the window titles. This, and the errors like 'Cannot convert string "-dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-m*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" to type FontStruct' makes me suppose that some sort of default font is being used instead of the configured fonts. To me the font on the screenshot looks like microsoft georgia bold, which looks bolder than times new roman. It is the first scaled font with greek codepage that present in the xlsfonts output. In the files that you've sent I have not discovered (yet) any clue why it works this way, configuration just looks normal :-( Have you tested if en_US.UTF-8 locale behaves same way? What fonts/sizes do you see when you run the CDE Style Manager? What happens if you choose font size and save configuration: does it anyhow change the fonts in applications that you start after that? After logout/login?
