Fact is only some applications are affected, horribly, with small fonts (I am squinting now typing under Chromium ;-).
If you ask me, Chromium, Yandex-Browser beta, and Textadept, can not grasp the screen size -- or they do it erroneously -- and thus initially display, fonts and all, at a suboptimal smaller dimensions. Yandex-Beta < http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-61d825158bc608.26754415.jpg > and Chromium: < http://www.enlightenment.org/ss/e-61d825c4155837.52624710.jpg > Two E 'Flat' installations to two different Debian Bullseye instances, yet both experience the same issue. The first Debian Reiser4 where I installed E 'Flat' had originally LXQT Desktop components; now, this second installation onto a Debian Reiser5 had originally GNOME3 components. I had no fonts nor app dimensions trouble with either of those Window Managers nor with any of the previous versions of E 'non-Flat'. I *never* had the need to mess with fonts nor app dimensions (except adjusting the font size/pointer effect, in Terminology ;-) until E 'Flat' came along. > > > I had not experienced these GUI issues in prior E versions.

[] As a matter of fact, I had not experienced font issues in GNU / Linux ever since circa 1995, when I had to struggle to bring up the X-Window under Red Hat Linux, where I was dual booting with OS/2 Warp 3 ;-) O, yeah, OS/2 2.0 had also awful fonts; not small as in E 'Flat' but just displayed awful. However, since we are in the fonts theme, I hacked this CD bootable instance with a fixpack ;-) < https://youtu.be/WYCFR-0N0b0 > I will see if I succeed with E 'Flat' or I will plainly go back to previous E and/or WMaker -- where I usually fallback ;-) Best Professional Regards. -- Jose R R http://metztli.it --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Download Metztli Reiser4: Debian Bullseye w/ Linux 5.14.21 AMD64 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- feats ZSTD compression https://sf.net/projects/metztli-reiser4/ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- or SFRN 5.1.3, Metztli Reiser5 https://sf.net/projects/debian-reiser4/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Official current Reiser4 resources: https://reiser4.wiki.kernel.org/ _______________________________________________ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel
