Description:   Opened: 2005-06-21 12:28 0000
When the icon zoom level is changed in nautilus, the text size changes with it.
This is not so much as bug as a feature, but it causes bad usability problems.
Sebastian Kannengiesser fixed this issue and created an ebuild which corrects
it. More info: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-336995-highlight-.html

I post these fixes here in order to make sure more gentoo users can fix this issue.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to nautilus preferences > Views > Icon view defaults
2. Set the default zoom level lower than 100%

Actual Results:  
As it appears, nautilus does not care about the zoom level when drawing label on
the desktop (the font size is fixed), but it does care in windows (the font size
moves with the zoom level). That's why the text below the icons is hardly
readable when the zoom level is set to a value lower than 100%.

Expected Results:  
Icon zooming should not affect text size, at least not this way. I mean icons
text should still be readable.

There is already a bug report on gnome bugzilla and some fixes :

Thank you for reporting this issue. The upstream patch for this is included in
nautilus-2.10.1-r1.ebuild.

For future reference, please note that it's usually unnecessary to attach
ebuilds if they are mostly the same ebuilds we have in our tree. In case it's
needed, you could attach only the relevant unified diff. Also, don't forget to
set the correct mime type for your attachments, e.g. text/plain for ebuilds and
the like.

Thanks.
