what's the locale you're running with? (do a "locale" command) can you attach an screen shot showing the size of the window? can't get the oversized windows to appear here. ok... I see the screenshot in the URL. However, I don't get those results. On my 7.1 box I see what's in the attachment. Can you do a "locale" and tell me what fonts you're using? Created attachment 22067 [details]
netcfg from 7.1 with locale of "ja_JP.eucJP" (same results with en and C)
Yes I will do a locale and get its output. However I installed Red Hat Linux 6.2 last night to see if the problem arose there. I had been using 6.2 for almost a year and didn't have the problem. Last nights install was also without problem. Netcfg appeared correctly, make xconfig in kernel source was correct and so was tkpasswd. I will reinstall 7.1 tonight and get the locale. However I have not changed it from the default it installed. I guess the locale would be whatever it is set to for the USA. Again I didn't change the font settings. I choose to install everything on the 7.1 install cd's. Whatever the defaults are is how my system is configured. Here is the exact output of locale. The fonts I am using are the default fonts installed when you select install everything during Red Hat Linux 7.1 installation. I have changed nothing, I just logged in. Problem persists. I will make more screenshots and upload them. Again the hardware is an ATI Xpert 98 video card, Intel PIII 500 mhz, BE6-II motherboard. I recently installed Red Hat Linux 6.2 and I did not have the same problems as with 7.1. The version of X is XFree86 4.0.3. LANG=en_US LC_CTYPE="en_US" LC_NUMERIC="en_US" LC_TIME="en_US" LC_COLLATE="en_US" LC_MONETARY="en_US" LC_MESSAGES="en_US" LC_PAPER="en_US" LC_NAME="en_US" LC_ADDRESS="en_US" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US" LC_ALL= Here are some links to more screenshots. These screenshots are of the various apps which manifest the widget size problem. Note that the screen is 16 bits per pixel and resolution is 1024x768. All fonts are default as per install. http://sapphire.sourceforge.net/clock_cfg.jpg http://sapphire.sourceforge.net/make_xconfig.jpg http://sapphire.sourceforge.net/modem_cfg.jpg http://sapphire.sourceforge.net/netcfg_1.jpg http://sapphire.sourceforge.net/runlevel_cfg.jpg http://sapphire.sourceforge.net/tkpasswd.jpg I am beginning to think that this is not necessarily a tcl/tk problem and more of an XFree86 4.0.3 or Font problem. Some pages under Netscape will have huge fonts totally distorting the pages. Also KDE fonts are totally screwed up making KDE useless, the fonts appear as a bunch of lines distorting windows and making menu's and text unreadable. This is very interesting and happens on a fresh install of Red Hat Linux 7.1 on my system. Well I got a response from the seawolf-list and it suggested to that I add the line Display <width> <height> (where width and height are the size in millimeters) to my /etc/X11/XF86config-4 file in the monitor section. Once I did that the font problem disappeared. I suppose that Xconfigurator wasn't fully recognizing my KDS Avitron monitor. Although it did recognize the brand of monitor some of the settings I guess weren't recognized. While XFree86 3.3.6 did correct recognize all settings under RHL 6.2, XFree86 4 would not under RHL 7.1. I am not totally sure if this is a bug in Xconfigurator but adding that single line resolved all the font problems I was experiencing. |
