From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: fonts too small on remote clients Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2003 09:20:36 -0500
I'm running Cygwin/XFree 4.3.0 under cygwin 1.5.5-1 (all the latest current versions of all packages as of this writing). I'm tunneling X over ssh to clients on a remote host (running Linux w/ XFree86 4.3).
Whenever I start a client on the remote host, all of the fonts on my local display come out about 2 points too small. It makes the clients very hard to see. Local clients are displayed normally. Does anyone know what could cause this?
I'm not running xfs. Here's the output of xset -q:
$ xset -q Keyboard Control: auto repeat: on key click percent: 0 LED mask: 00000002 auto repeat delay: 660 repeat rate: 25 auto repeating keys: 00ffffffdffffbbf fadfffffffdffdff ffffffffffffffff ffffffffffffffff bell percent: 50 bell pitch: 400 bell duration: 100 Pointer Control: acceleration: 2/1 threshold: 4 Screen Saver: prefer blanking: yes allow exposures: yes timeout: 600 cycle: 600 Colors: default colormap: 0x20 BlackPixel: 0 WhitePixel: 16777215 Font Path:

I've tried putting the 100dpi fonts first on the font path (xset +fp /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/), but it doesn't help.
Any help appreciated. Andrew.
