Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux The fonts (dpi) gets messed up after starting gtk apps. started out fine (look at taskbarfonts), but after starting a gtk app they get too small, look at konq's menubar (in the top), they're originally the same size: http://huldreveien.generation.no/~wakko/secondscreen1.jpg Seems like gtk somehow messes up the fonts....
just to clear stuff up, all my fonts (except desktop fonts) are size 10 and my lcd has correct sizes, even on gtk apps.
gtk apps start gnome-settings-daemon that will set the DPI number to 96. But you need to have a very odd resolution to make this a problem. What is your dpi number before you start gtk apps? (xdpyinfo | grep res) And yes, the problem is known, but hardly a KDE bug ;(
This is my output from dpyinfo, this is the numbers I have WHEN the problem is active, nothing here that says 96... screen #0: print screen: no dimensions: 1400x1050 pixels (418x314 millimeters) resolution: 85x85 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16 screen #1: print screen: no dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (612x459 millimeters) resolution: 53x57 dots per inch depths (7): 24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
edit: start gnome-font-properties just to check, then suddenly my fonts were back to normal I think... It also changed my mouse settings and whatnot... :/ xdpyinfo shows the same output though. wakko 7560 0.2 1.2 43588 12588 ? Sl 12:51 0:00 /usr/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_SettingsDaemon --oaf-ior-fd=25 it seems that settingsdaemon started when I started the fontconfig app. So has to be something else wrong then? start stuff like xchat-2 didn't start it.
well, you will know best if your screen 1 has a height of 459 millimeters. That's pretty huge, so don't be suprised fonts are small. Either your monitor lies or you have a bug in your X server - neither is KDE.
well, screen 1 has a sticker on it saying 50CM 19 inch... so seems to be right... but isn't the point with DPI that fonts should have same size if the DPI is right... but might be that the calculation of DPI from res and millimeters is wrong? could it be my crappy fglrx drivers?
19 inch monitors are around 400mm x 300mm - that's 60% of what your monitor says it is - explaining why your 10pt are 7pt in reality.

Not to use this bugreport as my personal helpdesk though, but: Active Display Size 362 mm (H) x 271 mm (V) / 14.2" (H) x 10.7" (V) Viewable Image Size Diagonal: 452 mm / 17.8" Seems like this is what X should be getting as dimensions perhaps? 362x271? If so, do you have any idea where the error lies? in edid or perhaps display drivers?
Probably in the monitor itself (hardware).
I think from past experiences that I've had this problem before though,with other monitors... Will try to confirm somehow soon.
