Well I've tried firefox-bin in my default profile aswell as in a new
profile and everything was downscaled fine so I'm pretty sure it has to
do with something in the build process at this point.

[gentoo-user] In Any Build of Firefox I Make it Uses a Poor Method of Downscaling

[TheXzoron]

This a repost from the forums in an attempt to hopefully reach someone
who only reads one medium regularly
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-7921188.html
but I still haven't managed to find the reason why my build chooses to
use a bad downscaling method.

Turns out I had something mis-configured in my .Xdefaults file however,
It's still weird how I had this set wrong for months and it never showed
sooner.

[gentoo-user] QT Applications all are Stuck in a Broken Theme.

[TheXzoron]

Basically after I deleted various files in my user's /home folder
because it was getting full of configuration files for programs that I
didn't use, all qt applications got stuck in this hard to read theme
when I did not have any theme set.

http://puu.sh/jL9cR/87b545fd17.png http://puu.sh/jL9e9/93425231cf.png

Trying to change to theme to something else in qtconfig changes very
little and the text in QT applications is always borderline unreadable.
I have also tried reinstalling everything QT related from the binaries
that got created with buildpkg but the problem still persists. It may
also be worth noting that GTK+ in qtconfig, which I used so QT programs
would look consistant with my GTK theme is not there and setting it
manually in Trolltech.conf makes it say Unknown.
https://puu.sh/jL9ju/d0928b6f2e.png

What could I do to resolve this problem?
