hi kevin, did you check your dpi? dpi in a real xsession may be different than in a vncsession. use |xdpyinfo | grep -i dpi" to check it. try to set your desired dpi to the vnc server with the option "-dpi 75" for example smaller values will offer bigger fonts and viceversa br, rumburak

I am then accessing this machine remotely using the free realVNC viewer 4.1.2 under windows XP Pro. The problem I am having is that the fonts in the GNOME terminal window show up much smaller when I run a GNOME terminal in the VNC session compared to when I run a GNOME terminal locally (i.e., when I am actually sitting down at the computer). I have already checked the profile settings of the GNOME terminals in the VNC sessions, and the font size and type are identical to what is shown when I am logged in locally. For some reason, the actual text in a GNOME terminal window is much smaller when I am in the VNC session. If I change the font size in the VNC session, then the font size also changes in the GNOME terminal windows of the local desktop, but then they appear much larger than what I want. Is there any way to make the appearance of the fonts consistent between the local desktop and the VNC sessions? I tried using the regular xterm application, and the fonts used look identical between the local desktop and a VNC session. I am not sure why this problem only occurs with the GNOME terminal. I searched the mailing list and found a couple posts relating to font size discrepancies between VNC sessions and local desktops, but none of them addressed the GNOME terminal specifically. I even used the "xset fp=" command (without the quotes) to make the font path in the VNC session match the font path in my local desktop, but that didn't help. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
