Posted: Thu Dec 05, 2002 3:41 pm Post subject: QT 3.1 Font Issues |
|
|
Last night in anticipation of the imminent release of KDE3.1, I merged the newly unmasked qt3.1r1. Upon rebooting, it seems that my font rendering has somehow been changed.
The default Helvetica font that I had been using in the window titles and menus is now significantly larger than what it was before. It is as if everything has been magnified. My typical set of Truetype fonts remains available.
I have merged fontconfig, but have not merged XFT2.
So what here exactly happened, or is it not QT3.1 specific? Could it simplybe because it was reemerged after I had emerged fontconfig?

Well, upon firther investigation, I discovered two things:
Fontconfig was throwing a fit over the portion of fonts.conf that I wrote to exclude anti-aliasing on font sizes 8 - 15. To my knowlege this worked fine before.
QT (and later I learned, GTK1), began for some reason "honoring" the dpi settings that X uses. My X server was I beleive using 96dpi, when I specified the dpi on the startx command line as 72, things began to look more towards the size I was used to.
My question then is -- what exactly happened that caused all this to occur? |

LOL, helvetica looks just like verdana! Try changing between the two, and you'll see no difference at all. |
