hiya all,

for no apparent reason all fonts in KDE seem streched (i.e. they all look vertically longer). this includes type in firefox, control center and the kde menu.

why has this happened and how do i fix it?

many thanks for your help

do you have "DisplaySize" set in your etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
ie:

Code:

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier          "Monitor0"
    .....
    DisplaySize         340 270
    .....
EndSection

Display size is your screen size in mm and can be calculated as such:
25.4 * width / dpi
25.4 * height / dpi
(from http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xorg_and_Fonts)

setting DisplaySize fixed simlar font problems for me.
