You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Occasionally, newly opened windows start to have very tiny fonts. From
that moment on, each newly started program will have small fonts that
are very difficult to read. Previously running programs (i.e. windows
that have been open since before the anomaly appeared) are uneffected.
Restarting X restores everything to normal.
Could not find a way to predictably reproduce the bug.
Could not spot any similar bugs on Launchpad.
Notable observations:
* K menu, panel, taskbar etc. unaffected, since it has been running long
before the anomaly occurred
* the 'tiny' fonts appearing in various windows are not even the same size
* the customly rendered document area of OpenOffice.Org is unaffected; menus
etc. affected
* new tabs in previously running akregator are NOT affected; new tabs of
previously running firefox ARE affected
* message body area of previously running Thunderbird IS affected, while
menus, etc. are not
* i'm writing this report in firefox, using ctrl+mousewheel to magnify
document area fonts back to normal (menus are still illegible)
* it IS possible to restore normal font sizes by manually setting them (e.g.
in kcontrol) to size 14 or so (they appear to have been set to size 9)
Possible culprit: Totem (2.20), I recall running it every time the bug
occurred, and I do not usually do that.
Using Ubuntu Gutsy, with kubuntu-desktop installed, running the KDE environment.
Logs, screenshot coming up.
