Bug#218585: Fonts WAY too big
Add me to this list too... I was convinced that I'd broken something the
next time I launched oocalc and the fonts were this gigantic.
I've got the scale pushed down to 70% now, and it's at least usable, but
there's still some funny business going on with row and column labels and
their size. I have to zoom to 150% in my spreadsheet view to allow the row
labels to appear to fit in the default row height. It scales tab labels
properly.
I had to delete ~/.openoffice and ~/.sversionrc to get any significant
control of the interface back. Until I did that, the scale setting was
controlling what the menus did, but the row and column label sizes were not
changing at all.
Regarding the points brought up by the original submitter:
- I'm not using KDE or Gnome either
- I start X with XDM, and it uses -dpi 100
- I didn't know about Xft.dpi, but setting it doesn't make a change
- I don't have KDE installed and am not about to install it, so I can't
test to see if it looks proper under that environment.
- I run at 1280x1024, and the preferences dialog STILL didn't fit.
Can we have the old behavior back?
I don't think it's a minor bug... it should be priority 'normal', but I
won't upgrade it as it's not my bug (although I was about to file it).
