I can't reproduce this. Changing the fonts in the Control Center changes the font sizes as you would expect. I suspect what you're finding is that when you start KDE using 'startx' or xdm, it uses a setting of 100 dpi to render fonts, whereas kdm tries to use DDC info to determine your monitor's 'true' dpi, and sets your font sizes accordingly. Hence the observed differences in font size between using kdm and not. You can force kdm to start KDE with a certain dpi value by editing /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc; a setting of 100 would probably return your fonts to the expected sizes. If my theory is incorrect, let me know. Otherwise, if I don't hear from you, I'll close this report. Cheers, Christopher Martin
