Hi all;
I have a Dell M6400 and an Nvidia card.
I'm running Fedora 10.
My laptop monitor is a 1920x1200 - I also have an external monitor- an Acer
X243w that is also 1920x1200
I've used nvidia-settings to configure the second monitor via Twinview
When I plug the external monitor into my vga out before I boot the laptop then
the screens are beautiful, a font size that I expect from a 1920x1200 monitor
on both screens.
The system font defaults are fine (most of em are a font size of 9
However if I boot the laptop without the external monitor then the fonts are
much larger, in order to have a similar look I need to go into the KDE system
settings --> appearance --> Fonts and change them all to 7, and a few (small,
toolbar) to 6. Even then my firefox fonts are bigger than I like and I have to
use custom settings for Kmail.
I'm unclear why I get different fonts when I'm connected to the external
monitor.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance...
