this image has not been resized. I can’t read anything. At all. Someone saying “Open a terminal and tell me what it says” is not going to help because I cant read the terminal, and I cant read the configuration to change the terminal font size.
Video card is Nvidia 260 if that even makes a difference, changing the “Appearance” font size settings Setting all to fontsize “22” dosent change my Taskbar I can’t read anything… this is a DEFAULT install… everything was set to Automatic, everything is default - I’ll be patiently stalking this thread untill I can read my task bar… at least.
P.S. Oh and the reason I can still read firefox is because I CTRL+Mousescrolled to Maxzoom.
also a note, changing the font DPI makes little to no difference.
I had that same problem when I tried to run KDE4 on my media center with 50 inch LCD TV at 1024x768. I could not find any way to adjust the font globally at time with KDE 4.1 so I ended up switching to GNOME. Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the font size globally across all KDE4 apps, popups, menu etc?
I know you can use <crtl + shift> ++ to increase the font size in the terminal and some apps but I could never find an option to increase the font across KDE as a whole.
You can change the settings with configure-desktop (systemsettings) the spanner/hammer icon should see it in kicker
There is a screen icon under computer admin
I guess you are using “nv” driver as it is a default install…
Have you tried to install the nvidia driver from opensuse repo and see if
after that your fonts come back to life?
Unless your tty fonts are as smaller as the ones you get within a graphical
session, you can switch to tty1 and work from there. openSUSE’s yast in
ncurses is really easy and intuitive.
