Hi guys I’ve actually only been using openSuse for a few days now and I chose to install KDE as it is openSuse’s default DE (although in the installer it assured me that all it’s DE’s were equally supported) to give it a whirl. I’ve already had Ubuntu (with Gnome) established as my system of choice for about a year maybe and am running it on another machine.
I’ve already found openSuse’s KDE to be a lot less glitchy than Ubuntu’s implementation of it. In fact the only two glitches I’ve had yet were with the Network Manager. All in all I’m enjoying my openSuse experience so far.
My question is this: How can I set a custom font DPI setting in KDE? I know where to force it to 96 or 120 but those are the only options given to me. I was looking for 72. I’ve done this in Gnome and was hoping I could do it in KDE as well.
For my desktop I had to manually force the DPI because otherwise the font is too small (nvidia driver). To change my DPI I edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf (the one that nvidia-xconfig created) and added under the Monitor section:
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
Simply change 96 to whatever DPI you want. I think you can use
I went back and copied “/root/xorg.conf.new” to “/etc/X11/xorg.conf” and now xorg.conf actually exists in there but I still don’t see the option in the font forcing menu
Perhaps seeing as I needed to create xorg.conf in the first place it means that my system isn’t even using or depending on that file. Maybe we need to find a way to make the system use it or write the changes into whatever “-configure” used to create it in the first place?
