I gave that a shot but it achieved the opposite result I was looking for. The problem is within windows like the message window of kmail and inside of konqueror, it seems like it is with programs that render pages. the fonts within those windows are huge (at 1600x1200) in comparison to the rest of the fonts in say the foler list window of kmail or just the rest of the systems fonts on the screen. If I switch to something below 1024x768 the fonts are smaller in comparison ot the rest of the fonts on the screen. - -- http://tblx.net/encrypt/[EMAIL PROTECTED] for pgp key -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+hHhksKWd3vub6wURAszOAJ40tJsKSMXXNXaEUOhYyNf65CInOgCfRCOh Y4C8Bj4U6rZMvPhR6YvEyWQ= =WDDK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
