Some fonts too small in qt applications (wrong xorg dpi setting)

linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – Hello everyone,On my system (Arch64, Gnome 3), some fonts are very small in some applications which use qt. All the fonts in Spotify (native) are barely readable. Same thing in KeepassX for the entry details in the bottom panel, although the rest of the text is normal. VLC works fine.I checked the default font in qtconfig, it's Cantarell 12 (as for gnome). I tried changing it, it doesn't change these fonts. It looks to me that the problematic fonts are the ones that are fixed by the application.My screen is a 15.6" with 1920*1080 (so normally 140 dpi). The real dimensions are 34 (HowTos)

Fonts disappearing 2 years 44 weeks ago

I just installed my Windows fonts like I normally do(/usr/share/fonts/truetype/fonts). I did sudo fc-cache -f -v and restarted. When I logged on and went too Google there were no fonts on the page. I tried other websites such as this forum, Neowin and Bing. All didn't have fonts. FontyPython said "Font may be bad and cannot be drawn."

I finally got around to upgrading from etch to lenny. After having upgraded, I find that the fonts are extremely small in all gtk applications (iceweasel, abiword, gnumeric, etc.)

How to change default GDM font? 3 years 44 weeks ago

Recently, I have found out how to install sharp fonts on my Fedora 11 (I am using it since fedora 9). The instruction is very simple and straightforward (see sharpfonts.com). But after all my fonts changed, my login screen became fully unreadable - all labels are displayed as squares. I've tried the same guide on the fresh fedora 11 install and it work perfectly.

Fedora 18: Xfig fonts 15 weeks 4 days ago

I am running fedora 18 with Mate Desktop. I have installed xfig. It complains of missing fonts for practically all fonts. Those fonts which do show up are spaced wide apart.

I have installed xorg-x11-font-misc in addition to a whole lot of fonts needed by latex. I have also installed msttcore-fonts.

Up to now (Fedora 17) I had the option to set

Small Fonts Normal Fonts Large Fonts

After the upgrade to Fedora 18 the options are reduced to

Normal Fonts Large Fonts

I would like to get the option "Small Fonts" back - it's convenient for my work.

Any possibility or idea ?

Thanks

Did you see Ivan's font topic: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=18249 ?After you installed the fonts, did you rebuild the font cache?BlackIvan wrote:If you want to install some new fonts, especially bitmap fonts from outside the repos put them under ~/.fonts or for system wide use under /usr/share/fonts.

The Gnome help describes how to install fonts: copy the font files to </usr/share/fonts>. I have some Type1 fonts with PFB, PFM, AFM and sometimes INF face files. The only ones I see in the <Type1> directory are AFM and PFA.

Gnome monospace bold font 1 year 12 weeks ago

You seem to have quite a few fonts from the AUR.  I have no idea if it would help, but I know I would try removing the 'ttf-unifrakture' package.As I wrote above, I don't use Gnome so my suggestions could be very wrong.  Are you using a custom theme, from outside the main repos?  Do you have the DejaVu fonts installed so that there's a sane fallback to match any

I have accidentally deleted some of the fonts from /usr/share/fonts folder. They must have been crucial since now I have various display problems ( underscore and font size display ).

I have already tried resetting gnome and system fonts settings but it does not solve the problem.
