ianw1974 Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Everytime I start my system, any apps I run that run with the GTK fonts are always small. Then, after I run gnome-font-properties, they return to normal size. How can I get the system to remember the size permanently? I'm running KDE, and the other fonts are fine. It's just anything that works with gtk fonts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theo Posted May 20, 2005 Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 I would like to know too ... In your case, under KDE, you can add in /home/user/.kde/Autostart a (sym) link that points to /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon ... My wish is that it is (auto) launched before a session (not at the start up of a session but after GDM/XDM/KDM) but I gave up after 1001 tests ...

ianw1974 Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Maybe there's a way to add it as a service? chkconfig add or similar perhaps? Just a thought.....I've just logged in as root as well (well su to be precise), to see if when I set it here, whether the system remembers them. I'll post back in a sec after I reboot.

ianw1974 Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 I've added the gnome-settings thing to my Autostart, so that should resolve I guess. Shame it just doesn't "remember" it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted May 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2005 Further note, doesn't remember that my keyboard is supposed to be BRITISH! Keeps reverting back to US format everytime I reboot. ":@:"#%:$"%: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Solved it now. I've found the font problem was prob due to missing gnome components. I reinstalled it all from scratch just to make sure and found since I have KDE and Gnome installed it's all working fine. Before I didn't have gnome, and that is why I had all the probs methinks!

ianw1974 Posted May 21, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Actually, here is the proper solution. I found that after I installed some development apps, it went screwy again. I'm not sure, but I think fontconfig or libfontconfig might have something to do with the problem. Anyway, since I had Gnome installed as a desktop GUI this time, I logged into Gnome, set all the settings I wanted (keyboard, font sizes), saved it when I logged out. Then when I went into KDE, I had to use the Autostart Theo mentioned earlier, and all is well. The fonts are perfect! So if that helps Theo, go for it! Although, Gnome does take up a lot of space, so depends on whether you think it's worth it?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
