    Hi,

    This is the question I hesitate to ask, because the cause of
    the problem is beyond my wild imagination.

    You see, I migrated from RH8 to Debian recently. Under X in
    Debian, I noticed that some of my fonts are a bit bigger.

    I use fluxbox, and its configuration is the same for both systems,
    but its menu, title bar, etc are noticeable larger than that in
    RH8. I.e., the same "lucidasans-10" font looks about 60~80% larger.

    More over, one of Tk applications that I wrote (which hasn't been touched
    for years), the panel font is larger about 30~50%.

    But this is not happening to all applications. My emacs, xterm,
    and another of my Tk application the window/fonts size are the
    same.

    As I said, the cause of the problem is beyond my wild
    imagination. Is it the DPI of X? The interpretation of fonts? ...
    puzzled.

    Thanks for your suggestions.
