4363 - After Install some Mozilla fonts are huge
 
After installing the nvidia drivers, the fonts on some sites (using mozilla) are HUGE .. that was not happening when usign the default "nv" driver (suse 8.2)

Any ideas ?

100 DPI fonts == BAD
 
I've seen this problem before.

Basically, the 'nvidia' driver runs xf86 in 100DPI mode, instead of 75DPI mode.

What you need to do is comment out all instances of the 100DPI fonts in your "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" configuration file.

The lines will look something like the following:
---
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/:unscaled"
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi/"
---

Just fire a '#' in front to comment them out.

Also, if you're running a font server ('xfs' or 'xfs-ttf') modify the "/etc/X11/fs/config" file and remove the 100dpi stuff there too ..

later,
Steve

ok .

I try that, but the result was the same :( .. the fonts are still big (a good example is kde-look.org .. the fonts there are huge for me)

any other ideas ?

are you running XFS( X font server)?

maybe you could post your XF86Config ..

Twinview and font problems
 
It seems that the twinview option triggers some strange font problems.

( I am using SuSE 8.2, GForce 4 ti4200, nv-4363 )

Netscape and mozilla will show huge fonts in the Google search result page (bottom).
OpenOffice 1.0.2 will display all fonts as proportional fonts.

All problems disappear when you disable the twinview options.

Seems like a bug in the driver.
