Where is the overall fonts settingForum: System Topic: Where is the overall fonts setting started by: Juanito Posted by Juanito on Nov. 02 2007,14:52
I need to adjust the way fonts look in dsl when using fluxbox and xorg72.I guess the difference in the font packages between the base dsl, xfree86 and xorg72 causes the fonts on the desktop, emelFM, etc to look strange when using xorg72. Is there a place to adjust the overall fonts setting (eg helvetica 12 or whatever the dsl default is) or do I need to change settings in each application?

Afaik applications try to find the closest font, usually from fontpath (i.e. xorg.conf/xset q)I remember when loading xorg, the fonts on the desktop looked a bit different, but it wasn't much of a difference, so I don't remember exactly... Do you mean strange as in a bad way? Got a screenshot for comparison? Does this only happen with the newer xorg externsion? Posted by curaga on Nov. 02 2007,17:27
Maybe Xorg's default font path is different, so it doesn't find all the fonts?
