huge fonts
« on: 29 September 2003, 11:07 »
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.

Microsoft is the question.
"No" is the answer!
The nice thing about Windows is - It does not just crash, it displays a dialog box and lets you press 'OK' first.

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.
