Re: Font problem with GTK in KDE

Hello all,

I'm using KDE from debian lenny, and some GTK apps, like icedove. When
I log on my session, the fonts from the GTK apps have the wrong size -
they are all much bigger than I configured. I have to manually start
gnome-control-center and use the Font Manager - as soon I click the
Font Manager, all the fonts on GTK applications changes. I have to
close the GTK apps and open it again to the fonts be in the correct
size. I have installed gtk2-engines-qtpixmap and qtk-qt-engine.

Any hints?

Check if X is correct about your screen dimensions and resolution by
running:

xdpyinfo | egrep 'dimens|resol'

Then run

echo "Xft.dpi: 96" | xrdb -merge

and restart icedove. (Replace "96" with your DPI value.)

If that fixes the font sizes then you can make it permanent by putting
the Xft.dpi line into your ~/.Xresources.

(On my KDE desktop I use neither gtk2-engines-qtpixmap nor
gtk-qt-engine; the Xft.dpi setting seems to be enough to make the gtk
applications render fonts properly. The Xft.dpi setting should also be
honored by applications which are neither QT- nor GTK-based.)
