DPI >96 = Bad UI fonts in Geckos built with GTK3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



UI fonts in Firefox, as noted in another thread, (and UI fonts in SeaMonkey), no longer match those configured in Plasma settings if Xorg's DPI is 120 or more (I've not tested at less):

This began with building Geckos with GTK3 (rv46 and up in mozilla.org builds) instead of GTK2.

In Mageia 5 and openSUSE 13.1, which are using GTK3 3.16 versions, FF fonts are as they should be. Supported Fedora releases all use GTK3 versions >3.16 for the latest FF and SM versions, which produce the too small Gecko fonts.

seems to explain why this is happening, but not whose job it should be to fix. Apparently Mozilla's not going to accept the responsibility. I asked on the gtk-devel list and got no response:

Any ideas whose responsibility it should be?

Anyone know of a KDE, Gnome/GTK or RedHat BZ bug already addressing this problem? Is there a fix in the form of an rpm I simply haven't discovered and installed?
