greetings, folks,
through inadvertence I wiped out my Linux partition. I restored my
files but I didn't have a backup of the system so I installed a new
version of q40s (which runs a version of TDE). I use a prior version
on another laptop I don't have access to right now.
then began the misadventures with font sizes in this HiDPI laptop; I
got some help from the list (thanks!) last yr with such problems on a
similar laptop.
I've wrestled them to the ground for the most part but the windows
labelled as "TDE Control Module" have teensy font size. where do I
find the file that regulates their appearance?
thanks for the advice.

First try to increase the DPI settings. If it works, you are done.
(~/.trinity/share/config/startupconfig: kcmfonts_general_forcefontdpi="96")
Or change the global fonts in ~/.trinity/share/config/kdeglobals - but be prepared to go
over the other config files in ~/.trinity/share/config/ , too, there are a lot of font
configs to be found. Just do "fgrep -i font ~/.trinity/share/config/" :)

the command "fgrep -iR font ~/.trinity/share/config/*" was very
helpful. at one point it helped solve the issue I started with, viz.
teensy fonts in "TDE Control Module" windows.
then, out of the blue, Firefox-bin (v. 71.0) looked ugly - huge fonts
in the tabs - and pan newsreader equally grotesque. don't have careful

not the most welcome reason for procratinating but it is too
distracting for work (that's my excuse anyway) so I fooled around and
upping DPI to 120 has fixed a lot of it though not sure it will stick
the next time I boot out and up.
I still can't quite get Firefox to behave; I'm essentially running
Firefox-esr. Firefor 71.0 just ignores userChrome.css and I cannot
find the magic gtk spell for it.
but for a deadline I'm tempted to wipe q4os and just do a Debian (or

Try tqtconfig to set qt font size for KControl applets. In Buster it comes from
tqt3-qtconfig.
The real magic is to not use MozillaFirefox. Instead, use firefox-esr. Its
annoying regressive changes occur less often than once per year instead of every
6-10 weeks. Another option is to use palemoon (newmoon in some distros), which is
a fork of Firefox created back around FF28 or thereabouts.
If your distro doesn't offer esr even via a ppa, you can uninstall its package and
use the version provided by mozilla.org:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/68.3.0esr/
Using the mozilla.org version allows the possibility to more easily exercise
control over when its updates occur.
If you use a fresh virgin profile, does the problem remain?
What does
xrdb -query | grep dpi
report? This is the mechanism Gnome/GTK observes for controlling DPI. Kcontrol
uses it, but allows only the options 96 and 120. If you leave it at default (not
controlled), then you can set it to anything you like via Xft.dpi in ~/.Xresources
or ~/.Xdefaults. GTK3 since version 3.17 forces it to 96 instead of leaving it
null unless something forces it to something else, or you are using openSUSE,
which reverted upstream's abusive imposition. I haven't checked. There could be
other distros that have also reverted it.
Instead of literally creating a new profile to test with if you find it too
intimidating, you can back up the profile directory, then empty it before
restarting Firefox. After the test, delete the content again, then restore from
the backup. A read of ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini will tell you the name of
the directory whose content to delete, the actual profilename. Don't delete the
directory, only its (entire) content. Alternatively, create another directory,
then substitute that directory for the directory name in profiles.ini for making
the test.

first I have to note my earlier attempt did not succeed in enlarging
the fonts on the "TDE Control Module" and similar windows - I was
mistaken I think.
yesterday I downloaded tqtconfig but I didn't see any results.
(ironically it itself is in a teensy font size. I may be missing
something so I'll play with it again.

I see subsequent discussion about this suggestion. I have both esr and
71.0 and esr plays fine with userChrome.css but 71.0 is not
responsive.
*however* I have domesticated FF 71.0 somehow, we'll see if it lasts
through the next session log-out or re-boot. I don't know how. I get
the impression that setting DPI to 120 and then *back* to 96 may have
brought it to its senses. this is speculative; I'll try to make more
observations.

What does
xrdb -query | grep dpi
right now DPI is 96. I'll try the profile experiment a bit later.
through foolin' around I now how several profiles. that's no problem,
I'll sort it out.
strangely FF 71.0 will complain if I try to force certain profiles
(esr ones) and refuse to start.

good information.
not openSUSE but something called q4os.

yeah, like I said, I got plenty of profiles now!
so where I stand is:
(a) in general things are kind of satisfactory but I'm not sure how
stable;
(b) the teensy font problem on the TDE Control windows is still there;
(c) I don't think tqtconfig worked but I should try again;
(d) the situation of Firefox-esr is fine; Firefox 71.0 is ok but not
sure it will survive a reboot or re-start of the session.
thank you for pitching in; you helped me before with this kind of
problem. I learned a bit.

good, as long as it was GTK2, the GTK3 version is broken badly, and
firefox (well ...). Guess some GNOMEs get good money for breaking
things in a creative way.

it's been 96.
I have tried something else (I believe '120', not sure why I
picked that) and it improved some things and made other things
worse - had me jumping from config file to config file. somehow
I've achieved equilibrium with 96.
and Firefox is a demon! ended up writing userChrome.css rules
but strangely Firefox-esr (68.3.0esr) seems to honor them but
Firefox 71.0 seems to ignore them. (I did the magic of trying to
force it to read the file, etc.)
Firefox uses GTK3, and that's a pestilence on it's own. > Cheers, Gene Heskett

Why would you install something without a need - just for the sake of the
upgrade? I use Apache Open Office which is now 4.1.3 and works rock solid.

fact, I copy over my old templates whenever I have to reinstall it.
sorry for causing confusion.
