i did an upgrade last night and also installed some new packages
and now my fonts aren't correct, i checked in gnome-terminal and firefox
and emacs and the fonts are appearing too small and even the window
dimensions of gnome-terminal and emacs is too small now when they open!
it has even affected my gmail when i open it now everything is too small and
is readable but strains my eyes :( and i did NOT change firefox settings
in any way so it must be the system wide X fonts.
i never had this problem in the past and apt did NOT ask or inform me
it would be changing fonts, or changing X in any way.
i use X.Org, 4 months ago I switched to it from XFree86 when i upgraded
my testing release.
i had no problems until now.
i did dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and that didn't help,
i even removed the 100dpi font lines from /etx/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/Xfree8
i looked in /var/log/dpkg.log to see what packages were updated last night
and these looked relevant:
xfonts-base
xfonts-100dpi
xfonts-75dpi
xfonts-encodings
also i have:
/usr/lib/X11/fonts -> ../../X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/
(symlink)
i have attached 2 files, my current xorg.conf and one from several
months ago when i know it was working
i'd really appreciate any help, i want my gnome-terminal and emacs to
open at normal size and i want my fonts in all programs running in X
to go back to their normal (larger) font size which doesn't strain my
eyes.
