Hi all; I have a Dell M6400 and an Nvidia card. I'm running Fedora 10. My laptop monitor is a 1920x1200 - I also have an external monitor- an Acer X243w that is also 1920x1200 I've used nvidia-settings to configure the second monitor via Twinview When I plug the external monitor into my vga out before I boot the laptop then the screens are beautiful, a font size that I expect from a 1920x1200 monitor on both screens. The system font defaults are fine (most of em are a font size of 9 However if I boot the laptop without the external monitor then the fonts are much larger, in order to have a similar look I need to go into the KDE system settings --> appearance --> Fonts and change them all to 7, and a few (small, toolbar) to 6. Even then my firefox fonts are bigger than I like and I have to use custom settings for Kmail. I'm unclear why I get different fonts when I'm connected to the external monitor. Thoughts? Thanks in advance...
