fluxbox & fonts

cs-cam · 11-25-2004, 08:40 PM

I've been having this problem for a while now, just never got around to looking into it. I'm running fluxbox 0.9.10 and every now and then for no reason at all when I boot up the font sizes are all really big. I've searched around the net and I couldn't find anything but yeah. I've checked the fluxbox config files and all the values there are right, this is probably something stupid but I can't figure it out.

Ta for any help

You need to have anti-alaised fonts turned on, you do this from the fluxbox configure menu.

Okay, so I did that and I don't know whether it was random or because of what I did but after I restarted X the font's were all big again. Screenshots:

Any help would be appreciated because I've been playing around with fluxbox and I've nearly got it perfect except for this issue and I still need to do a custom theme for gdm

Okay this was like a duh, no shit kinda problem. Antialiasing made fonts bigger, edit the theme file to make them smaller and all fixed
