Description of Problem: When a kde sesion initializes for a new user, the default fonts and sizes are more than a bit small. However, if you bring up the kde control center and select LookNFeel->fonts and then chose one of the fonts but DON'T cnage anything and say OK, and apply the fonts sizes change ... much bigger, in fact a bit too big. The two sets of sizes should be the same How Reproducible: everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. see above 2. 3. Actual Results: font sizes (and perhaps fonts) change Expected Results: no change Additional Information:
This defect is considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax.
Can't reproduce any of this. Please be more specific. Also include which X server and graphics hardware you're using.
I did not really changed the size of fonts but they got "bigger". The server is 4.1.0 and the video adapter is an ATI Rage 128 RF. I am attaching lspci -v and lspci -vn. This does not seem to reproduce on a different system with an ATI Rage XL AGP (rev 27).

By any chance, did you enable anti-aliasing?
Anti-aliasing enabled on both system -- the Rage 128 Rf and the ATI Rage XL AGP.
The problem is that most fonts are not suitable for antialiasing, so you get pretty much random fonts. I've added a quick and dirty hack to get fonts that at least look sane to qt 2.3.1-3.
