Public bug reported: Affects: kde-guidance (Ubuntu) Severity: Normal Priority: (none set) Status: Confirmed
Description: The only thing I know for certain is that after all the updates were applied via 'apt-get dist-upgrade' the system-wide fonts were extremely tiny. The first installation off the media yielded at least readable fonts, unlike after the 21APR06 updates which included many KDE-specific ones. The first update contained 57 pkgs, by the time I had recovered a backup and made the 2nd attempt the list was 80. Both times the fonts' sizes system-wide went from readable to a 9-pt unreadable. Firefox would not change no matter what I did. It's fonts were set to 16-pt (prefs)... but were 8-pt at best. I am very certain that this is KDE-specific because I have been applying daily updates, as available, without this font problem. I have the update history going back to 09APR06, if it'll help. Let me know.
