Good, that should explain it: KDE thinks the resolution of your screen is low in Gentoo, and hence makes the letters smaller in order for them to be regular size on your screen. The Displaysize setting suggested by Peter Ruskin should sort it out for you (check it by adjusting the settings in your XF86Config, restarting X and doing 'xdpyinfo|grep resolution' as above. However, it is quite possible that KDE overrides that setting, so you have to manually set the DPI. I am not sure how to do this in KDE, but I use 'startx -- -dpi 131' to set the dpi to 131x131 when running Fluxbox (make sure you set the dpi the same for x and y or you will experience some ugly-looking fonts). Perhaps the KDE control center has a DPI setting? Einar -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
