Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.1) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages I wonder why the font select dialog boxes restrict to choose full point sizes only. It's Ok that you get a list like 8, 9, 10, ... - But it is not possible to enter a value like 8.7 manually. Only integers are allowed as input. The funny thing is if you change the values by hand in configuration files like ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals it works without problems. This is not a KDE problem only, I have seen this behaviour in most *nix apps. For word processors it might be Ok but for the screen display and the GUI the rendered pixel sizes make too big jumps between 8, 9 and 10pt. Pleeease allow float pt font sizes. :-) Thanks René

Hi, I realy agree with reporter. It's very unconfortable for me that I cannot set KDE font size to float values. Especialy with "Deja Vu Sans" is between size 8 and 9 very big difference (for me).. I'll try to find code, which causes it, but I can't promise anythink :)
A patch has been added to reviewboard, see http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/904/
SVN commit 1002561 by cfeck: Support decimal font sizes (such as 8.6 pt) in KFontDialog QFont already had support for fractional font sizes since Qt 2. Applications that do not use QFont::pointSizeF() but pointSize() will get the rounded size. Most applications, however, simply request a font, use it, or store it using KConfig, so they will support fractional font sizes transparently. http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/904/ BUG: 122618 M +64 -43 kfontchooser.cpp M +1 -1 kfontchooser.h M +6 -6 kfontcombobox.cpp M +10 -4 kfontrequester.cpp WebSVN link: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=1002561
