libreoffice menu font too small

Slackovado · 03-06-2018, 05:39 PM

I've already adjusted qt settings which fixed VLC menu fonts.
But the Libreoffice menu font remains small (last 2 or 3 versions I've installed).
Currently I'm on version 5.4.5.1 and it's built from Slackbuilds, from the one that builds from the binary distributed.
Some posts on the net suggest that libreoffice-gtk package fixed it for them.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

is this in kde-4?

I've had the same problem with several applications when running them in kde-4, but not when when using Xfce.
And, yes, oxygen-gtk2-1.4.6.1-x86_64-1alien.txz, is installed.
It does seem to a recent problem, but as I bounce back and forth between Xfce and kde-4, in -current, I can't pinpoint when it started.

I don't use KDE, don't even have it installed except a few libs needed to run K3B.
I use Xfce and don't have oxygen-gtk2 installed (what is it for?).

Since you are not running kde you don't need it, but to answer your question here is the readme file from Alien Bob's package:

oxygen-gtk2 (Oxygen GTK+ engine)
Oxygen-Gtk2 is a port of the KDE widget theme Oxygen, to GTK+.
It's primary goal is to ensure visual consistency between GTK+ and
qt-based applications running under kde. A secondary objective is
to also have a stand-alone nice looking GTK+ theme that would behave
well on other Desktop Environments.
Unlike other attempts made to port the kde oxygen theme to GTK+, this
attempt does not depend on Qt.
See: http://projects.kde.org/projects/pla...ork/oxygen-gtk

I have installed the oxygen-gtk2 and for a while I had the right font size in qt apps like VLC and Libreoffice menus.
But it totally screwed up my theme and colors, title bars in bright blue color - FUBARED!
But now my fonts are small in all qt apps which leads me to suspect the problem is also with Slackware.
Qt config does not save the font size!
I'm pissed and give up for now.

I cause this problem occasionally by playing around in Ubuntu settings
I'm on 16.04 now, but it happened on previous releases.
It is NOT a Libre Office problem.
Go to Settings/Appearance/Behavior
Show the menus for a window
Choose
In the window's title bar
That's it. We're done. Enjoy.
