Apparently Gnome's fonts are fixed at 96x96 dpi whereas KDE uses the calculated value from your X configuration. Fedora's default configs for my screen were setting wacky DPI values like 147x143. So KDE was calculating that fonts needed to be larger, etc. Very odd behavior. I've solved this with very outrageous screen measurement values. > Also, there are other folks here (just within the past 24 hours), who > are having general X configuration problems with the same or a similar > Dell WUXGA based system (presuming that you might have an nVidia card > and are using the nVidia driver). > > Might it be possible for you to post your xorg.conf and any key issues > (ie. did you remove the rhgb from grub.conf) in a different post with an > appropriate subject?
