Description Hans Meier 2006-08-16 11:02:36 UTC

I've selected to use KDE fonts and styles for GTK apps in the KDE control center. However, this does not seem to work for Firefox - here, the font size is always too small. It works in Gimp though. For example, I've set my font size to 9. Then, Gimp also uses this font size, but Firefox seems to use something like 8 or 7.

Comment 1 Dirk Mueller 2006-08-16 11:10:45 UTC

are you talking about gtk-qt-engine or about krdb ?

the problem is that firefox likes to interpret the configured font size relative to its own hardcoded dpi setting (96dpi afaik). 

what is your screen dpy setting?

Comment 2 Hans Meier 2006-08-16 15:08:09 UTC

$ xdpyinfo
resolution:    114x115 dots per inch

You are correct, I've set the screen resolution to system settings within Firefox's preferences, then it works. I would suggest to make this setting a default instead of 96 dpi, then this bug can be closed as resolved.

Comment 3 JP Rosevear 2006-08-21 14:40:08 UTC

If anything this seems like an FF issue.

Comment 4 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2006-08-21 16:28:40 UTC

IIRC "system settings" _is_ the default for the dpi setting in Firefox.

Comment 5 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2006-08-21 16:56:39 UTC

No, it's not. We will change the default for future releases.
