016. How to make Opera, Firefox, Thunderbird, OpenOffice2, Azureus have font of the same size?
First of all start X with appropriate DPI. In order to do that copy /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc to your home directory and rename it to .xserverrc. Edit this file and change -dpi argument to correct value (ie. on my laptop it is 117):
#!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 117 -nolisten tcpNow it's time to set dpi value for Xft. Edit
.Xresources file in your home directory and add:
Xft.dpi: 96It might look weird that we set it to 96, while our real DPI is 117 but it works for me :-). And the last thing as far as general configuration is concerned: fontconfig. Edit
/etc/fonts/local.conf and set your real DPI there:
<match target="pattern">
<edit name="dpi" mode="assign"><double>117</double></edit>
</match>
Restart X and start to configure applications:
opera6.ini file. If you open it you will see that in [Font.Menu] parameter Height is set to -10 and in [Font.Toolbars] it is set to -12.
.gtkrc-2.0 or .gtkrc-2.0.mine file in your home directory and add:
style "default"
{
font_name = "Verdana 10"
}
class "*" style "default"
chrome/userChrome.css file in your profile directory and add:
{
font-size: 10pt !important;
font-family: Verdana !important;
}
