Yes. I wonder if the reason setting the DPI in Qt doesn't result in reasonable fonts is because it isn't really Qt that controls font rendering in most circumstances. It's fontconfig/freetype, the basic font rendering bits of Linux. That would explain why while I could fix the crash, I couldn't force fonts to render sensibly. Fontconfig still was trying to render based on the following information: $ xdpyinfo | grep -A1 dimen dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (0x0 millimeters) resolution: -2147483648x-2147483648 dots per inch ... that you provided to me in your previous message. Note the ridiculous "dots per inch" values. Hence the tiny fonts. If my understanding of the situation is correct, then there is no point in patching Qt. Users will simply have to provide monitor dimensions in xorg.conf if they use the fglrx driver. A pain, but at least it works. Cheers, Christopher Martin
