Re: KDE font size changes randomly
SOLVED At least I think it is solved. I won't know for sure until I log on and off a few more times.

Re: KDE font size changes randomly
I guess process: /usr/X11R6/bin/X -nolisten tcp -auth /var/run/xauth/A:0-coMD6V is my x server. I guess process: /usr/bin/kdm is the display manager. Where is the file I need to vi to fix the display at 100 dpi so I will keep from changing my font size? What is the difference between what these two processes actually do to my computer: /usr/X11R6/bin/X /usr/bin/kdm Thanks, J $ ps auxww | egrep X11 root 2943 0.0 0.7 7448 5532 ?Ss 08:05 0:00 /usr/bin/X11/xfs -daemon xfntserv 2947 0.0 2.2 19608 17408 ?

KDE font size changes randomly
The KDE font size keeps changing randomly. I set the font size to Arial 10 and use it for about a week or 2. I shut down my desktop every night. Then, the next morning, Arial 10 is huge and I can't fit 80 character across on the screen. I switch it back to Arial 4. Then I use it for a week or 2. Then, after my nightly shutdown and reboot, Arial 4 is too tiny to read and I have to set it back to Arial 10. Repeat the above loop infinitely. This isn't a show stopper, but it gets annoying when I have my desktop looking beautiful the way I like it. Is there a place dpi set up? $ more /etc/X11/gdm/Xservers /etc/X11/gdm/Xservers: No such file or directory $ egrep dpi /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X vt7 -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp The above file has not changed in 6 months, so it is not the culprit.
