[NTLUG:Discuss] Font Madness in X(KDE)

[Stephen Davidson]

Greetings.

I am having an issue where my system fonts in KDE are HUGE(think 80
chars wide, but on a 1280x1024 screen), but where applications use
normal fonts, they are properly sized.  (For example, the window label
for this email, the title chars are the height of two lines for this
email.  Lets not even talk about apps that use the System settings for
their windows.

I am running OpenSuSE 10, and after googleing, found a reference about
using 100dpi fonts.  So, downloaded and installed, and now Applications
that use their own font definitions rather than the System are properly
set up.  Which leaves me stuck with the System Fonts, and applications
that use those settings (Like Eclipse!).

Btw, fonts were working properly, until I used SAX2 to add another
pointer, specifically a new mouse with Wheel.  Why changing THAT messed
up my fonts, I don't really know.

Help?  Suggestions?  Lunch in North Dallas if somebody wants to hands on?
