Re: [mulot@free.fr: Pb with Xfree font size]
Quoting Branden Robinson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): FAQ :( In that case it would be good if you would mention where this FAQ is. This has not been mentioned before on this list and it isn't listed in /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ either. And he is not the only one who has been hit with this bug. I've been hit by this as well. It is most notable with gnome-terminal, it is not possible to select a different font size anymore. The gnome panel applet wanda is confused and can not scale its text box anymore. Using wanda or trying to select a different font size causes the mouse to behave erraticaly and the X server to use up all available CPU time for a while so that the machine unusable. If the xfs-xtt is running it will also suck some percent but the overall behaviour does not change. Cheers Mike -- G.
