Really tiny, as in 6pt. tiny. | The title bar font has also become much smaller. | | There are no changes I've found in the behavior of the applications | themselves. In fact, when I move the mouse pointer into an application | it reverts to the normally smaller size. So this appears to apply to the | desktop, window decorations, and Kicker only. | | I've made no configuration changes. | | Any idea where I should look to fix what seems to have gotten broken? I | presume there's some setting that the items mentioned abnove have in | common, but damned if I have been able to figure out what it is. | | I'm running R14.0.11(DEVELOPMENT), which is pretty much always stable. I changed mouse cursor themes -- I'd been using redglass because there's no reverse-color theme, alas, nor have I figured out how to make one -- and restarted TDE. Fonts returned to normal. Changed back to redglass. Restarted TDE. Mouse returned to normal. So. Would still love to know what caused the problem to begin with, though. -- dep Pictures: http://www.ipernity.com/doc/depscribe/album Column: https://ofb.biz/author/dep/
