Thanks to the offline answers.  I assume that the differences in
resolution and dpi are causing the font issues.

Someone told me to set the following in my .Xdefaults:

Xft.dpi:72

This fixed Kword, firefox, openoffice, inkscape, gimp.


Now that I know what to search for exactly, here are a few links that I found:

Some of it is Linux centric, but lots of good info there...

 Font sizes are based on your DPI settings, which are guessed by the X
 server.  There are ways to specify better values, though I'm not sure
 how since I've never done it.  The intertubes may know more.

I have the following in my ~/.Xdefaults file:

$ grep dpi ~/.Xdefaults
Xft.dpi:72

maybe you need something like this:

~ $ cat .gtkrc-2.0
gtk-font-name = Sans 8

in your home.

I use my OpenBSD at work on a VMware instance.  I have tried this in

vmt0 appears to work well, as does 'vmwh' from ports...

That gets me a step closer... I didn't know how to search for fonts
sizes are huge in certain X applications...


hmmm looks like xrandr has a switch for --dpi.  I will mess around
with that...


Thanks all...
