Did you change the display manager (kdm/xdm/...) or are you starting X from the command line? I am not sure if that is the problem, but IIRC kde plays with the dpi option which affects the font size (I think kde uses -dpi 100). try starting X with startx -- -dpi 100 and startx -- -dpi 75 and see if either has the effect you want. > ================================================================= > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > This Mail Was Scanned By Mail-seCure System > at the Tel-Aviv University CC. > ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
