When I first started using GTK2 apps, the menu fonts and such were really tiny. The fix was to add "-dpi 100" to the command line when starting my X server. GTK2 noticed, and started using bigger fonts. Everything became readable. All to say, there's a mechanism in there somewhere. I'll let you know if I find out what it is. --jkl _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia/faq.html Main page at http://www.lysator.liu.se/~alla/dia
