Sorry, I'm not really sure how to explain this better. Here is a screenshot of gkrellm: http://jrm.ath.cx/misc/messed_up_fonts.png As you can see, the fonts are so large they overlap. I didn't change any of my configuration files (xorg.conf, ~/fonts.conf, ~/.gtkrc-2.0, etc). The problem seems to be isolated to gtk applications. Here is the output from /var/log/xorg.log: http://jrm.ath.cx/misc/Xorg.0.log It seems as though the usual fonts cannot be rendered so some sort of defaults are being used. Thanks for any suggestions. Joey Hmm, (==) RADEON(0): DPI set to (75, 75) was it always 75? (I see a recent update to xf86-video-ati port). Anyway, try forcing X to use 96, ie, run it as: X -dpi 96 (it would be :0 local /usr/local/bin/X -dpi 96 :0 in /usr/local/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers for xdm).
