Description Felix Miata 2012-12-02 02:25:45 UTC

1600x1200 120 DPI screenshot - 4.9.2 on openSUSE 12.2, how 4.9.3 on F18B should look

Description of problem:
Various UI fonts are not as specified in systemsettings, including menu fonts and titlebar fonts. It appears to me the UI portions using too small fonts are using a different/smaller, possibly hard coded to 96, DPI, while my desktops are running 120 DPI. This happens both in F17 and F18beta. Screenshots best describe.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.9.3

How reproducible:
Easily, happens on F17 and F18.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Configure X via xorg.conf or xorg.conf.d/ to use 120 DPI.
2.Start KDE
3.Adjust font sizes as desired in systemsettings
  
Actual results:
Not all KDE UI fonts as specified in systemsettings

Expected results:
All KDE UI fonts as specified in systemsettings

Additional information:
openSUSE system used for screenshot is using Droid Sans as default system font. F17 & F18 both ignore my attempts to do the same via /etc/fonts/conf*60-latin.conf, which explains a larger difference between openSUSE and Fedora than I hoped to show.

Not a problem in 4.9.98 in Rawhide.
Ceased to be a problem in 4.9.5 in F18.
