FYI. I've opened a Gnome bug report on this issue: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125521 resolving UPSTREAM is this still a problem btw ? Yes, this is still an issue for me. Isn't it for everyone? It seems like it should be, but I guess there is something more at work here. Anyway, the gdm maintainers changed the font sizes in the default themes with release 2.4.4.3. My guess is that this was some kind of "fix" for this issue, but they have yet to respond to the Gnome bug I filed in October (mentioning that this seems to be a pango issue)... no actually it isn't a problem it seems, you are the only one i heard of. Usually font size changes can be triggered by dpi settings, but besides that it seems unlikely to me that it has a direct link to changes in pango. So the 2.4.4.x versions in portage fix this for you ? For me the update 2.4.1->2.4 .4 didn't change anything in the visible font size iirc. Haven't tried the 2.4.4.x versions, just read the ChangeLog in the gdm release notes. I've been playing around with the DPI settings to no avail previously. I know it seems far-fetched that a pango update should be related to this, but I had the same problem in Dia (mentioned above) and indeed a pango downgrade DID solve both the issues at once (no other packages or configurations changed). Also, a bug comment by the Dia maintainer set me on track for this one. |
