Ok this sounds likeit might be the (an) answer. I looked through the
package list of installed programs and gconf2 is installed but gnome is
not. So, since I like gnome, I'll install it and try adjusting the fonts
and dpi in the gnome configuration settings.
Whats the easiest way to install gnome? I saw that there is a sort of
meta-package (I come from gentoo) for kde that presumably installs the
entire desktop but I couldn't find one in the list of gnome packages?
Heh, I installed apache so I could host the screenshots and I noticed
the updates for it just after I sent off that email. Thanks for
mentioning it though.
Thanks far all your help folks!
