I only had a couple of hundred ports so I took a chance that it would solve this issue. Unfortunately it didn't. On my laptop I have more than 700 ports and there I have no problems with missing icons after the png- update. Maybe we are missing a port on the machines that have no icons? I'll do as you have chosen to do, wait and see. /Leslie ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

font sizes in xfce 4.10
Dear folks, I forgot to ask in same thread. Apologize in advance :( The font sizes have changed giving very tiny size, it was not like in 4.8.3 XFCE. Will resetting xfce to pristine state(default) restore these? or do I have to figure out another way to fix this?

If you remove the user's ~/-xfce4 setting directory, they should go back to the defaults. But what are the defaults? Maybe those are already too small. As Xfce 4 is a Gtk+ application, you can try a general override of fonts with a ~/.gtkrc-2.0, containing gtk-font-name=Tahoma 12 as an example to override. You can also change your display's DPI (depending on if you're using a CRT or LCD) in X's configuration file. I'd say the best way is to load Xfce 4 with its defaults, then alter them using its configuration tools, which will result in a different user configuration in the ~/.xfce4 directory. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Thanks Polytropon for your valuable help and suggestions. I actually had a similar problem with the fonts in many Gtk and Gtk+ applications, so I changed the DPI value for the whole X system by defining Option DPI 96 x 96 in Section Device for your graphics card. You can also let X determine the DPI value automatically by entering DisplaySize 410 305 in Section Monitor for your monitor; units are in mm. To try which resolution fits best, you can use the followng commands: % xinit -- -dpi 72 % xinit -- -dpi 75 % xinit -- -dpi 96 % xinit -- -dpi 100 % xinit -- -dpi 115 If you're using a LCD panel, it should be obvious and match the real hardware parameters. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ... ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
