SuSE 9.2 Professional system font size ?

sptkrishnan · 03-08-2005, 07:20 AM

Hi,

Recently installed SuSE 9.2 Professional from the official CDROM.

I am not able to find the option for change the system font size.
As a result, the fonts of letters in the toolbar and menubar are too big.
For example, the font size of Firefox is too big under SuSE whereas Firefox under Windows seems to be fine(smaller)

I checked everywhere I could guess.
I believe this is not application specific since other application also display in the same size

thanks,
Krishnan

Have a try in the KDE control center (KDE menu -> Control Center -> Appearance and Themes -> Fonts).

Hi,

I have already tried this option.
The font sizes here seem to control the sizes of text inside applications like Firefox...for example the size of font on the webpage.

What I am looking for is the font size on the menubar, toolbar, text_with_icons...these seem to be big than usual. Moreoever, this size is reflected across all GUI applications hence I believe it has to be adjusted at the system level and not application level.

thanks,

Actually I think it's the other way round: KDE control center adjusts fonts system wide, while firefox has its own adjustments in 'Preferences'. At least this is the case on my system.

Hi,

I have a similar problem. Konqueror, etc. does change accordingly, but firefox and eclipse menus don't.
You can't change font size from eclipse (or firefox) preferences, you can only change font size in the client area.

I think..ffox is gtk based??right??..I Guess you need to use gnome's control center in that case.

Yes, changing the font size in the Gnome control panel *should* work to change the font size for the Firefox menus etc.

Using Gnome it's the other way round, you have to change the font size in KDE to adjust it for KDE applications like K3B

No, this doesn't solve the problem. Why the client area changes when I change fontsize from KDE?
I begin to think this is some kind of a bug. It's something about the dpi, maybe...
In gnome, everything is ok. Well, almost. It doesn't have all the features KDE has.

Thanks, though.
