I subscribed to this list so that I would like to ask
these questions.
But I am not good at mailing list, if this mail is bad
to this list, ignore it.
I use both KDE and Gnome. I use GTK+ apps in KDE
sometimes, use QT apps in Gnome. So I want all
applications to be shown with the same shape in both
KDE and gnome. Fonts, fonts sizes, themes, etc.
And I found It's very difficult to do what I want.
Q1. Is there any difference between to run "startx --
-dpi 96" and to run with the file "~/.fonts.conf"
contains DPI information?
My font size of gnome is 9, and of kde 9 too. But
their sizes are different each other.
KDE's font size is much smaller than gnome's. I
found that was caused by the DPI information.
My Gnome's dpi is 96, I adjusted that by running
"gnome-font-properties. But I couldn't adjust DPI in
KDE.
So I edited my ~/.fonts.conf like the below...
<match target="pattern">
<edit name="dpi" mode="assign">
<double>96</double>
</edit>
</match>
That was OK. 9-size Bitstream Vera Sans in KDE
looked same with that of Gnome.
But The font's size of some applications, such as
Konqueror Browser and Opera Browser, got bigger.
So I commentted out above lines in ~/.fonts.conf,
and ran X with command "startx -- -dpi 96".
That was good, really good. The sizes of between
Gnome and KDE are absolutly same.
Is it useless that I add above DPI information to
my ~/.fonts.conf?
Q2. Assigning the fonts doesn't work properly, this
doesn't occur in Gnome, but occurs in KDE.
Many sites require Courier fonts in their
stylesheet.
But I don't want my browser to display
non-antialiased core fonts like Courier.
So I edited my ~/.fonts.conf
<match target="pattern">
<test name="family">
<string>Courier</string>
</test>
<edit mode="assign" binding="strong"
name="family">
<string>Courier 10 Pitch</string>
</edit>
</match>
In gnome, That was OK. "Courier 10 Pitch"
replaced "Courier" perfectly.
But in KDE, it was weird. That's neither Courier
nor Courier 10 Pitch.
I link my screenshot. look at this.

Left window is KDE control, and Right is
gnome-font-properties.
KDE's courier has not only different shape but
also two fonts.
And the space between characters is bigger. Very
weired.
Q3. Yes, this problem also has relation with KDE.
I wanted see english text with Bitstream Vera
Sans, and Korean text with Gulim.
So I added the below to my ~/.fonts.conf
<alias>
<family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family>
<prefer>
<family>Bitstream Vera Sans</family>
<family>Gulim</family>
</prefer>
</alias>
In gnome, everything was perfect.
It seemed to be perfect in KDE too. But there
were some characters could not be displayed.
I link my second screenshot. Sorry for size, it's
a little big.
http://www.geocities.com/khsongdr/KCharSelect.png
Each characters in blue box are all the same.
When I select Bitstream Vera Sans in KCharSelect, that
character is broken. But When I select "Gulim", it's
displayed very well. I wonder what's the problem. I
adjusted that Gulim would append Bitstream Vera Sans.
And Gulim has that character, but Bitstream Vera Sans
that Gulim appends can't express that character.
I wish this post would bring me the answers.
