I don't understand the behaviour of the font configuration on KDE: it seems that the application not started from the user I run use other font settings, not those I setted up in kcontrol. At the start of kde the fons of kicker, kdesktop,exec command, with relative menues and apps (the panel,klipper) are small; if kill kicker and then restart it, it is now OK, same for kdesktop. I tried configuring kcontrol both from user and root kdm looks good ___________________________________________________ . Account management: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde.
