Recently my fonts started appearing to be squished. I'm using a high DPI 4k screen and I'm setting my DPI from sddm with 'EnableHiDPI=true' and in '.Xresources'. I filed a related bug that was solved in SDDM, but my fonts still look wonky. https://github.com/sddm/sddm/issues/943
and you get me again... The SDDM config EnableHiDPI only changes SDDM. Please show what you're doing in .Xresources and include a screenshot. Is the "desktop theme" settings in system settings also "wonky" ?
Created attachment 109069 [details] Taskbar of laptop with squished fonts compared to desktop.
Created attachment 109070 [details] Laptop showing settings with squished font.
Created attachment 109071 [details] Desktop with settings open with normal fonts.
The only thing I'm doing in '.Xresources' is setting the font dpi: $ cat ~/.Xresources Xft.dpi: 288 It seems like everything related to the shell has squished, or tall text. So that includes the settings menus. I took screenshots comparing my laptop, the one with the squished fonts, to my desktop. They are both configured the same way. The one with the squished fonts is on top. I also included full screenshots with both of them with the settings menu open.
So i was getting quite frustrated with the font issue and rolled back to a snapshot I had before the font bug happened. That seems to have gotten rid of the issue, so it must have been some sort of weird setting I added while adjusting my HiDPI settings. For now the problem seems to be gone so I guess this issue can be closed. Thanks for your help.
