Debian - Gnome - Metacity - fglrx - text too small!
 

Hi.

I am running Debian Lenny with Gnome and Metacity, and I've just installed the fglrx driver for my ATI card. I am running at a humble 1024x768 resolution, but I can barely read the text in many applications and on the desktop itself. Some programs are better than others, but for example, Icedove/Tbird's text is extremely small.

I encountered this thread: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...aviour-569624/ but wasn't sure if it was up to date or not.

I'm sure this topic has been covered plenty of times, but I'm new to setting up X/Window Manager/Desktop on Debian, and am not sure how to proceed. I've been using Linux for a couple of years but am relatively new to Debian (I started on Ubuntu - hence the being stumped by something like this). Any help is truly appreciated!

Okay...I'm now feeling like a moron! My answer was to use gnome-appearance-properties and modify the items on the font tab. Although I'd been through that dialog several times, I had never needed to change the font values there before in the past. Going to mark the issue as solved. I hope this helps someone else because it was very confusing and not straightforward to figure out.
