font size changed recently...why?
Date: Thu Aug 16 2007 - 22:54:32 EDT
I'm running Lenny on my desktop, and I upgrade regularly. I run X at 1152x864 on a 19" monitor, and have been doing so for years. Sometime recently, perhaps within the last 10 days or so, the sizes of several of my fonts have changed, and I am at a loss to figure out why. The world has changed too much, and I no longer know where to look. My screen resolution has not changed, and my X server knows the correct dimensions of my monitor and has an accurate DPI calculation. It is not something in my own personal settings, because the font used to echo my username and draw the bullets when I type my password in gdm have also shrunk.
If I just knew how gdm picks what fonts it uses, I'd be well on my way to figuring this out. In the olden days, I used to edit my xfs configuration to select 100 dpi fonts over 75 dpi fonts, but my font path (as shown with xset -q) does actually already have the 100 dpi fonts first.
Any application for which I specify fonts explicitly with my X resources remains the same (xterm, emacs, etc.). The default font size has shrunk for gdm, sawfish, and iceweasel. I don't run gnome (except gdm) -- my desktop consists of xterms and emacs, which are fine.
Any hints on where to look would be most appreciated. I've already dug through packages that appear to have been upgraded in the last several days, though I can't pinpoint the exact time when I noticed the changes in the font size. I believe I did an aptitude full-upgrade recently after not having done one for a couple of weeks.
Thanks for any advice.
