Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdebase-workspace
On Toshiba Satellite A100-786, when running Kubuntu fonts are extremely huge. After manually setting the DPI to 96, it is fine. Here's the full story: 1. I tried to run Kubuntu on my laptop, but the fonts were too huge which made me unable to do anything (it happened both in the live CD and in a pre-installed hard disk from another computer). 2. I changed from KDM to GDM which solved part of the problem - the panel fonts were OK but not the application fonts. 3. I opened an xterm session and tried to run only kwin - the font of the window title was huge again. 4. I killed kwin and tried to open only plasma-desktop without a windows manager - the fonts were still huge. 5. I opened system-settings from gnome session. In appearance>fonts I changed "force fonts dpi" to 96. When I then started a KDE session it was fine. One more problem that might be related: All this time the panel was not maximized as default and was only part of the width of the screen. I could maximize it though.
