huge fonts

(1/1)

Unforgiven1:
I run red Hat 9.0  Some applications have unbearably huge fonts, like Open Office and kdict.  anyone know why this is happening and how I fix it?  I haven't installed any font packages to my knowledge, unless it was packaged in an RPM and I didn't see it....if this is the case, would anyone know the offending RPM and how to remove it.

erosnemesis:
did you install the entire installation or red hat? What is your screen res.

Unforgiven1:
yes, I did a complete install of red hat.  Screen Res is 768x1024

Faust:
I had the same problem after installing a debian package to enable Microsoft true type fonts and installing those fonts somehwere.  If you look in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 there should be a list of fonts somewhere - the ones at the top have highest priority and are used first, so try commenting out fonts one by one starting from the top and then restarting X.
