ok, but where i set all language and locales?
I think that the "dpkg-reconfigure locales" command modifies the /etc/locale.gen file. "dpkg-reconfigure locales" seems to work with most login methods, but not all. When I installed Login.app (it's a very simple GUI login screen), I noticed that my locales were not read. I fixed this by adding my locales to the beginning of my ~/.xsession file.

Note: you can easily check your current POSIX locale settings with the "locale" command.

I guess there's no harm in specifying locales in several resource files (as long as you don't set one locale in one file and a different locale in another file ). So, in principle, it would be possible to set locales in ~/.bash_profile (I think this is the standard place to set locales), ~/.bashrc, ~/.xinitrc, and in ~/.xsession. Try something like this in different resource files until you find the one that your login method reads:

export LANG=pt_PT@euro
export LC_ALL=pt_PT@euro

Have fun exploring!

dpkg-reconfigure locales
will allow you to generate these languages for your system.
however it won't fix your (harmless) "perl: warning" message (if it isn't fixed by now). you have to give LANGUAGE, LC_ALL,.. into your environment by using on of the earlier mentioned files.
have you solved anything about your font-size problem yet?

If you use ISO 8859-2, ISO 8859-3, ISO 8859-4, ISO 8859-5, ISO 8859-7, ISO 8859-8, ISO 8859-9, ISO 8859-10, ISO 8859-13, ISO 8859-14, ISO 8859-15, or KOI8-R encodings, you should make sure that you have installed "xfonts-base-transcoded", "xfonts-75dpi-transcoded", and "xfonts-100dpi-transcoded" font packages.

XF86Config -file something like this (order does matter):

Section "Files"
FontPath "tcp/192.168.1.30:7100" <-- for you rather localhost; or leave it out if no fontserver's active
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
EndSection

Maybe you should experiment with changing the default font size.

1) First you could check what macondo says in "Debian Post-Install Configuration" about font sizes. http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/answers/259

2) If that doesn't help, you can experiment with settings like "Xft.dpi: 100" and "Xft.dpi: 120" in .Xresources.

3) Check that anti-aliasing is turned on in fluxbox (that may affect how fonts look).

4) If that doesn't help, you can look for the fluxbox config files in your home directory and see if they have some option to change font size.

Honestly, I'm confused about your problem with small icons. This has never happened to me. I can only assume that it has something to do with the default font size. And yet you say that your icons became small when you re-configured your locales. I'm puzzled.

The only suggestion that comes to my mind at this point is that maybe you should install another window manager and see if your apps & their icons show differently in another WM. Here are some good window managers you could try: Blackbox, Openbox, IceWM, Window Maker, Afterstep.
