Re: [mulot@free.fr: Pb with Xfree font size]
Quoting Branden Robinson (branden@debian.org):
> FAQ :(
In that case it would be good if you would mention
where this FAQ is.
This has not been mentioned before on this list and it isn't
listed in /usr/share/doc/xfree86-common/FAQ either.
And he is not the only one who has been hit with this bug.
I've been hit by this as well.
It is most notable with gnome-terminal, it is not possible
to select a different font size anymore.
The gnome panel applet wanda is confused and can not scale its
text box anymore.
Using wanda or trying to select a different font size causes
the mouse to behave erraticaly and the X server to use up all
available CPU time for a while so that the machine unusable.
If the xfs-xtt is running it will also suck some percent
but the overall behaviour does not change.
Cheers
Mike

People often think of research as a form of development -- that it's
about doing exactly what you planned, doing it on time, and doing it
with resources that you said you'd use. But if you're going to do
that, you have to know what you are doing, and if you know what you
are doing, it isn't really research."
