Seamonkey Menu Font size

bgeddy · 03-30-2007, 12:39 PM

I have recently had to rerun xorgconfig to get my X desktop working again. Everyting now seems OK however the menus of Seamonkey are in a very small font. Konqueror and Firefox are OK - just Seamonkey seems messed up. Any idea how I change this ?

Slackware 11,kernel 2.6.17.13, KDE 3.5.4, xorg 6.9.0, Seamonkey 1.0.5.

Thanks in advance..

OK - I figured the Seamonkey settings out - under edit->preferences->appearance->fonts there is a setting for "display resolution" this was set to "System setting" - changing this to "96dpi" enlarged my menu fonts nicely. However my Xirc program still has tiny fonts. I think my system dpi setting is wrong. Kinfocentre - X-Server shows a resolution of 77x72dpi. Maybe this is what is messing up the look of some of my apps. I seem to remember changing this setting to 96dpi somewhere - I will have to investigate further.

Do you have nVdia drivers installed?
I had -sort of- the same matter recently, installing another (older) driver solved the issue.

Nope - I have Intel graphics on board with the i810 driver. I have set

Code:

defaultserverargs="-dpi 96"

in my startx script. It doesn't look like this is working as X is reporting, if I am interpreting it correctly, a DPI setting of 72dpi. I am still working on this as the DPI setting seems to be what is causing me my problems. Any ideas are welcome.
