Openbox 3.3-rc1 has a problem rendering fonts when compiled with pango support (the fonts in titlebars and in menus (root menu and window menu) are too big). After some research I came up with a simple workaround which works for me. It multiplies the font size (which is the product of pixelsize*PANGO_SCALE) by 0.72 (72dpi). I don't know the right way to do this, as I'm no programmer. This post [1] helped me a lot. [1] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/gtk-i18n-list/2004-August/msg00029.html Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Emerge openbox-3.3-rc1-r2 2. Start openbox 3. Open a program or right-click to get the root-menu Actual Results: The fonts in titlebars and in menus (root menu and window menu) are bigger than expected: i.e. I specify the fontsize as 8 but fonts look like they are 14. Expected Results: Fonts should be the expected size.
Created attachment 61067 [details, diff] Workaround for huge fonts in Openbox+Pango Here's the patch. I'd be grateful if someone improved it. :)
This patch won't work, as it will lock users in to a static DPI setting.
