What xorg-server are you using? I heard this is fixed in 1.4. With 1.3 a workaround is to use the -dpi command line option when starting the server (with startx or put it in the rc file for your dm). x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r6, which is the stable xorg-server on x86. I know about the workaround, so maybe x11-drivers/xf86-video-ati-6.8.0-r1 should stay as ~x86 until xorg-1.4 goes stable. Same here. The fonts are huge. The behaviour appears on all gtk, qt and kde apps. The only programm that is not affected is opera (with shared qt). I already got this behaviour in January 2008, when I tried a version higher of xf86-video-6.6.3. The error occures with everything higher than 6.6.3. The version of xorg-server isn't relevant for a solution. I got this strange behaviour with xorg-server version up from 1.4.0 until the actual 1.4.2. The -dpi workaround seems to help for the first time. Please, test with latest in testing (6.12.2) and reopen if issue is still around. I cant reproduce. |
