Thank you both for testing and outputs. Patch is ready to revise in
TDE/tdebase#231:
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdebase/pulls/231
Note: Because it is patch for a shell script, you can simply apply it on
your system and test without having to wait for approval and build new
packages.
Cheers
To confirm, the problem (without the patch) would show up until some changes are made in
TCC to the font settings. After
the first change, the problem would not show anymore.
Anyhow Slavek has prepared a patch to cover the pitfall so once you get the updated
packages, things should be fine.
If you want to confirm the behavior with the new packages, exit TDE, start a CLI shell,
edit
~/.trinity/share/config/kcmfonts, delete the line with "forceFontDPIEnable".
Then start a TDE session again. On startup
the value of "forceFontDPI" should now (with the new packages) be used also for
kicker and twin. You should see a
message "[starttde] Setting font DPI to XXX" in your .xsession-errors file,
while with the old package (pre-patch) you
should see "[starttde] Clearing setting of font DPI value", which made
everything small.
Apologies for the little mess in the R14.0 branch :-)
Cheers
Michele
