Hi,
I just updated from xorg-server 1.3.0.0-r6 to 1.6. After the upgrade I
see a lot of applications have now much bigger fonts then they used to
have (the fonts and font sizes of course are the same - they just appear
bigger). Examples are KDM, Konsole, most KDE apps (GNOME applications
seem not to be affected).
The increased fonts looks a bit as when I connect via VNC to the diplay
manager session (with the Xorg VNC module). I had the same effect
already when I tried to upgrade to Xorg 1.5 (which was why I had to
revert back to 1.3).
This is a VMware virtual machine with the VMware tools installed and
running.
What can I do to avoid the "font increase"?
The best thing you can do with VMWare (from my own experiences) is to
force 96 DPI in /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc. Find this line:
ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp
And add "-dpi 96" to it:
ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp -dpi 96
Restart X.
