Just installing the 100dpi fonts doesnt mean you are using them: You must make sure that your X configuration uses these fonts *first* - to do so you should move all *100dpi* fonts above *75dpi* fonts in your /etc/X11/fs/config file - like this example: catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi, /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1, /usr/share/fonts/default/TrueType, /usr/share/fonts/pango-fonts, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/100dpi:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/latin2/100dpi, /usr/share/fonts/ja/TrueType Please use what is in there and move them around - do not add the lines above from my file! Also, in the same file you need to make sure that the 'default-resolutions' are calling 100 dpi first as well - like so: # 100 x 100 and 75 x 75 default-resolutions = 100,100,75,75 Give that a shot - any better?
Thanks by the trick, but the instalation leave me a config for the fs like this: catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi, /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1, /usr/share/fonts/ja/TrueType # in 12 points, decipoints default-point-size = 120 # 100 x 100 and 75 x 75 default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100 ?Is "The Bug" in the default-resolutions setting? Grettings.
well it is both from having the default resolution call 75 first, and from having the 75 dpi fonts listed first in the font catalogue. In your case you would change it to this: catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi, /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1, /usr/share/fonts/ja/TrueType # in 12 points, decipoints default-point-size = 120 # 100 x 100 and 75 x 75 default-resolutions = 100,100,75,75 Then restart X
Created attachment 19170 [details] ultra-small fonts in icons text
:-(((, The modification to the config file does not work, after modify the file and restart the xfs and X I get the same results ... Any other idea? Please take a look to the attach to see how look my icon4s desktop ...
this does not look like a problem with X using or not using 100 dpi fonts.... is this just on your desktop icons?
Yes, this happen just with the icon4s text, the rest of Gnome works great ...
ok thanks - probably a gmc issue: assigning
I Have a solution for the "Bug" ... The problem is in my /etc/i18n file, I have the following: LANG="es_ES@euro" SUPPORTED="es_AR:es:es_ES@euro:es_ES:es" SYSFONT="lat0-sun16" SYSFONTACM="iso15" I Replace with (come from another instalation): LANG="es_AR" SUPPORTED="es_AR:es:es_ES@euro:es_ES:es" SYSFONT="lat0-sun16" SYSFONTACM="iso01" Try It, don4t fail ... Grettings.
Hi boys, I've exactly the same problem. The only workaround is to remove the text euro in the LANG of /etc/sysconfig/i18n For me replacing this [root@localhost /root]# more /etc/sysconfig/i18n LANG=fr_FR@euro SYSFONT="lat0-sun16" SYSFONTACM="iso15" [root@localhost /root]# with [root@localhost /root]# more /etc/sysconfig/i18n LANG=fr_FR SYSFONT="lat0-sun16" SYSFONTACM="iso15" [root@localhost /root]# works.... (And I upgraded GDM to 2.2.1 and with this change the font is not the same) Though I tried a new version of gettext...but it doesn't seem to help also... I don't know where's the problem with localisation...
I don't think this is a gmc issue. Additionally, gmc is no longer supported in favor of Nautilus. dcm, can we close this or should we move it elsewhere?
