Hi Nikolai,

Me too am suffering from the small font syndrome; not
only in Firefox but in syanptic as well. In fact, in
synaptic the fonts are so tiny that i can hardly see
them. Firefox is a bit better. The rest of the
applications are OK. My desktop is kde.  I set the
font sizes in the Control Center to 12 pt, then I
created an .xsession file in my home directory as you
mentioned, with ?kdeinit &? line inside. I rebooted my
computer and the login screen appeared but didn't
accept my password anymore. When I entered my password
the login screen just kept reappearing without
reporting any error message. All in all, i couldn't
log in; I had to delete the .xsession file from the
home directory to be able to login again. Did i do
something wrong? Or did i miss something? I am not
very experienced with Linux yet, so it might be that i
misunderstood something.
