I am a former KDE user and I am switching to gnome. I love amarok and quanta, so i installed them, but they seem to have a really big font, and because i am using my laptop and i have good eyesight I want to lessen the size of the fonts.
View 1 RepliesWhen zooming to 100% in listview the font gets huge, but only in the listview panel (see image). Where to reconfigure this to normal behaviour (I'd like the 100% fontsize to be the same as in the treeview in the left panel). I had this behaviour already with the previous relase of Ubuntu, and upgrading to 10.04 did not solve the problem.

I've read so many howto's and threads but never managed to get a decent font size on my tty's. Before grub2 I used to use vga=795 (or something like that), but now that isn't working anymore. I have a 24" Samsung screen and the font size is HUGE. Has anyone with same hardware succeeded in setting a decent resolution? I've played around with gfxpayload and all that stuff. I'm using fglrx driver on an up-to-date system.

View 2 Replies View RelatedIn the next couple of days I'm intending to move to openSuse after a year of vacillating between XP, Vista, 7 and Ubuntu/Mint. One of my main uses for a computer is word processing, but I've noticed font rendering is not at its best in much of Linux. Ubuntu made a great leap as of 9.04, and therefore so did Mint, but whatever was done with the configuration, despite the free and open source factor, hasn't been implemented in many other distros, including I think openSuse. Even Kubuntu is behind - the settings don't seem to alter no matter what is picked in the relevant configuration panel. Several versions of KDE 4 have come and gone without this being seen to.
I am going by live CDs, for example I have 11.2 KDE version which I tried again today and found the same mysterious lack of change as occurs with Kubuntu when the settings are altered. So, has this since been put right with an update or user's tweak, or do people not even know or notice what I'm meaning? Using Open Office's word processor, the fonts aren't correct, often too skinny or spidery, which is what made me hesitant about Linux when I first dipped in, with Ubuntu 8.10.
I've tried the last four openSuse Gnome editions, and with the 'slight' settings for lcd screens the colour fringing is very apparent, as with Ubuntu 8.04 and 8.10. The 'medium' and 'full' settings cause fonts, Roman type especially, to become skinny and spidery.
I'm still having an issue with fonts on my Dell E6400 Laptop running opensuse 11.4 and Gnome 2.32.1. The best way to describe it is that it looks like at about 3 places on the screen, there is an invisible horizontal line running right/left, about 2 inches from the top and from the bottom of the display and then about in the middle. When a line of text is "under" this line, the font is corrupted so that it looks broken. If I scroll the text up or down, the "broken" line of text will move above or below the problem area and display perfectly. The next line of text below it will then appear broken.
It isn't related to any specific application. Firefox, LibraOffice, they all do the same thing. I have adjusted font DPI, changed default fonts, messed with subpixel hinting, and even installed the freefonts package. No luck. I know its not the actual monitor because this is a dual-boot laptop and in Windows, the display is perfect.
I've got another older Dell laptop, a D610, with opensuse 11.4 and Gnome 2.32.1 and it doesn't have the problem. So this leads me to believe it is something with the video driver on this particular machine. But I can't figure out in Gnome how to update the video driver.
I know this is a minor nuance and it doesn't effect usability at all but it still bugs me. I was using gnome on Ubuntu and decided to install KDE. KDE didn't work properly and so I uninstalled it. But now Firefox still has the KDE font and I can't figure out for the life of me how to change it back. I've had this problem before on another computer and I can't remember if I fixed it on there or not.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn all previous versions of KDE I had Console8x16 set as KDE font for all cases (Settings->Appearance->Fonts). After tonight upgrade, this (only!) font is not working. I can see it in font manager, I can set it in ...Appearance->Fonts, but actually remains default font. Two of about 30 attempts somehow (can not reproduce) succeeded to set "console 12" font, but it disappeared after restart.
1. What can be the problem in 4.4?
2. In /usr/share/fonts tere are 3 files named console8x16.pcf, console8x8.pcf and console9x15.pcf, but in the font list in Appearance->Fonts I can see only 2 - one named "Console" (seems to be 8x16 and "console" (8x8). File 9x15 does not appear at all. Why?
Last results of attempts: cannot use console font in part of areas, while part works OK. For example: kdevelop editor, kmail message body text works OK. But kmail other parts - does not. The most interesting is that although setting the kmail body message text to console displays the message body text correctly (with console font), but the example message in "Configure kmail" dialogue "The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog" is displayed in the default font, as if there is no console font!
when you first start up your computer it is in command line, before the gui has loaded. Just like when you type ctrl alt f1 it goes to a similar screen. in both those cases my fonts are twice the size they normally are. I've used ubuntu and slackware, installed them both on different occasions, and the font in the terminal was always small and looked like what i came to see as normal. but now they are stretched out and twice the size. i am wondering if there is a command or way to change either the font or the resolution or the display settings of the terminal.
View 2 Replies View RelatedSomehow I manged to mess up my firefox menu fonts.I'm running ubuntu 10.04, updated as of this posting's date.Please see the attached picture of FF (ugly, thin, menu font) alongside OpenOffice (normal menu font) on the same gnome desktop. Interestingly, FF looks little better on the screenshot than it does on my monitor. Something is seriously wrong.
Symptoms:It is only the FF menus that are affected, not the content of the pages that load, or the menu I get when I click on the window title bar (Maximise, Minimise .... Close)
No other applications are affected - all their menus are normal.
No other users are affected - their FF has normal menu fonts. So I am thinking it has to be some file in ~ that is messing this up.
I liked KDE3, but it seems that is history now, and KDE4 is not for me, so I moved to gnome. I am still getting used to it, but it's functional.All was well until I installed the KDE4 desktop, because I thought I'd "give it another try". I logged into KDE4 and ran it under my own username. I managed to open firefox, but that was about it. I logged out because although KDE4 is pretty, it's still useless for my needs.So I went back to gnome, and that's when the problem with FF first appeared.My mouse-pointer cursor has also changed. Instead of a "clockface" spinning when something is waiting, I now have two small circles orbiting an invisible point. No big deal, though it might be relevant.
I found an old thread from 2005 on how to change the font color on the gnome-panel.
It worked for all applets on the panel except for the notification area and me-menu where the font remains dark.
How can i force the font to a light color on these two applets?
Also as i used the "clarlooks" theme for controls the status indicator is duplicated:
There is one instance in the me-menu and another in the notification area. How can i remove either? I find that the gnome-panel is a real hassle since 10.04. Not only it is not logically constructed, but it is inconsistent and not customisation friendly.
My gnome-font-viewer is missing. When i type it in the terminal i get the error :
Code:
But my gnome-control-center is already installed. Ive also tried to remove and reinstall it but it still makes no difference.
I'm running GNOME (gnome-session under xmonad). I want to turn off antialiasing (i.e. use monochrome mode) for fonts in gnome-terminal. But I want to retain antialiasing for other applications, like Firefox. Is this possible?
Antialiasing is great and almost necessary for using Firefox or Chrome. But it makes the fonts in gnome-terminal blurry at sizes around 12 or smaller.
Otherwise, I'll just have to use xterm, which seems not to anti-alias its fonts under any circumstances.
I'm very accustomed to using gnome-terminal. Today, out of the blue, the text that shows the things like menu options is extremely small (not readable) (please see screenshot 1).
This is also the case for my favorite text editor gedit (see screenshot 2)
Does anyone know what is causing this and how I can fix it?
I know how to manipulate the size of the text IN the gnome terminal window [from usage: --zoom=ZOOMFACTOR Set the terminal's zoom factor (1.0 = normal size)] but my problem is with the text of the menu options AND --more importantly-- also of the content of gedit text editor.
How can i change that login window's font rendering, i mean that screen which you can select user and type password. Is anybody have the experience for tweaking gnome login font or background image?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've evaluated about 15 offline storage systems this week, and one of the best was spideroak, but there's a huge issue in their shared folder structure and procedure.When you make part of your data shareable you MUST share a folder from your original disk. This is a real pain. You cannot share specific files like you can on many others.To initiate sharing your establish your unique username for sharing (different preferably than your spideroak username) the share name, and the room key (password).While you might expect the share name to be part of the URL that guides you to the share which then accepts your password for access, thats not how it works. Instead spideroak gives you a URL that contains the PASSWORD and does not even mention the share name!!
Therefore anyone you give the URL to has direct access to the share you create (which is what you are trying to accomplish in general) but any browser THEY USE will remember the URL which contains the password, not the share name.THIS IS A HUGE SECURITY ISSUE since you have no control over how an authorized user is going to access your data and from where and most users are not sophisticated enough to guard against the default intrusion they are going to leave behind.

Recently upgraded to fc11. Have nvidia working ok. Using kernel 2.6.30.9-90.fc11.i586 (not the latest). When booting up I get to gui login and see the background change. It takes 20 seconds or more before I see the login dialog box. After selecting the user it takes another 20 seconds before I see the box change to enter the password. This only happens at boot. If I logout and log back in everything is fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently waiting about 10min already for Fedora to finish downloading whatever-it-is-it-downloads after issuing a simple 'Query'. This is bearable when my BB-connection is performing. Unfortunately, like right now, it isn't - between 10-50kB/s - and the wait is excruciating!
So, why does Fedora seem to download the complete files database at least once every 24hrs if there's an update/query issued, and not just the 'differences'? And how do I prevent it from doing so? Ubuntu arguably has access to many more files but never pulls this stuff. Fedora would appear to be completely unusable without a broadband connection! And in the time it has taken me to type this, Fedora continues to download its update at a rate of 10-30kB/s...
My large ext4 / filesystem seems to cause huge latency problems when writing a large file. For example, if I use split to break up a 40GB file into DVD-sized chunks, my browser becomes unresponsive, and it can take several seconds for Gnome terminal to respond to a mouse click.
I installed LatencyTOP, and it shows jbd2_log_wait_commit as the big offender, with Chrome waiting on that function for over 31000ms (or 31 seconds). I tried remounting / with barrier=0, but that didn't help. My hard drive is a WD20EARS-00MVWB0 2TB SATA disk. I recently switched my BIOS from IDE emulation to AHCI mode, but that didn't help. I tried running split with ionice, and that does help, but the system still isn't responsive as it should be, and I'd hate to have to remember to ionice every large write. Here is some relevant stuff from dmesg:

The other night, I noticed that Up To Date wasn't working, and that Firefox was acting strangely. I made the FC 13 installation disks, whereupon I found out that the system didn't have enough memory.
Rather than mess with the P3 450 any more, instead I swapped main boards and decided to do an upgrade. it even possible to do an "upgrade" from 3 to 13? Is it possible to maintain my existing partitions/settings. I've backed up everything that I'd be too unhappy to lose. It's a two drive system and the second is nothing but data, none of it catastrophic to lose, but at least disappointing. I'd like to keep the data and settings on the primary disk, but won't cry if I can't.
Essentially I have found this guide, but it is for miktex, i need a guide for texlive on Debian/Ubuntu which will not pollute dpkg installed texmf.

All the power google turn up just stuff f relating how to install microsoft fonts or do stuf on MikTeX.
I CANNOT USE XeLaTeX!!! I use pstricks and the font must be available in plain TeX! Otherwise my document looks inconsistent!
