Hello,
Here's the outputs from ps aux and the server settings for startx, kdm and gdm:
startx - fonts comes up fine:
ps aux | grep x gives:
piers 948 0.0 0.1 2300 644 tty2 S+ 17:38 0:00 xinit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc
piers 1003 0.0 0.1 2972 872 ? Ss 17:38 0:00 /usr/bin/ssh-agent x-window-manager
ps aux |grep X gives:
piers 1231 0.0 0.1 2300 644 tty2 S+ 17:41 0:00 xinit /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc -- /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xserverrc
root 1232 39.5 7.4 366416 38160 ? S<L 17:41 0:03 /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp
gdm - fonts comes up as nasty:
ps aux | grep X gives:
root 1094 12.4 7.5 367204 38948 ? S<L 17:40 0:04 /usr/bin/X11/X :0 -deferglyphs 16 -nolisten tcp -auth /var/lib/gdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt7
kdm - fonts comes up as fine (same as startx):
ps aux | grep X gives:
root 1412 18.4 7.4 366908 38628 ? S<L 17:42 0:04 /usr/X11R6/bin/X :0 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp vt7 -auth /var/lib/kdm/A:0-VPn5cw
Looks like KDM and StartX is using 100dpi while GDM isn't setting any DPI.
Thanks very much for your help again ;)
Cheers - Piers

Hello all,
After a long while, finally got GDM to work with Windowmaker, but the system fonts are a little horrible - am trying to fix it. After extensive search on Google it seems that GDM sets the DPI of the X server wrongly - anyone help me find out exactly where to set the correct DPI? I've looked into GDM and added "-dpi 100" to the bottom of
I just played with something else my self and noticed the difference with the dpi. The thing is the smaller the dpi the smaller the fonts you will get. Try setting it to "-dpi 75" instead of "-dpi 100", could be that 100 is your default for gdm and 75 for kdm.
the config file where it has the server start command, but it changes the font size of the text in GDM itself, but not in windowmaker - application fonts are fine, it's those fonts on the menus like "File, Edit, View" etc that looks nasty.
Thanks very much for your help in advance

I don't think its gdm that setting your fonts, but to test it out you can stop gdm (/etc/init.d.gdm stop) and try running X using startx and see if you still have the problem.
I believe its windowmaker settings.
