Skype fonts are huge

[Eugenia Loli-Queru]

Both Firefox's form font (the form that I am using right now to fill this bug) and the Skype DEB I just installed have huge fonts after I installed the MS Fonts.

Hopefully with qtconfig you cat set the font size (and many other things, like skin) for Qt applications(like Skype).

skype doesn't fit into the ubuntu look and feel at all! Even qtconfig doesn't help. I can only choose between motif and other oldschool themes. this used to work out of the box in recent releases...

I can confirm this bug. This looked alright in Ubuntu Edgy.

[Thor H. Johansen (thorhajo)]

This bug is happening because KDE is defaulting to the Motif theme.

[Eugenia Loli-Queru (eloli)]

I have no KDE installed btw.

try with something like this in /etc/qt3/qtrc :

[General]
GUIEffects=general^eanimatecombo^e
embedFonts=true
enableXft=true
font=Sans Serif,9,-1,5,50,0,0,0,0,0
fontPath=\0
useXft=true
style=Plastik

Please try the proposed package for Gutsy (from bug 145709) and report back if it fixes it for you.

Using qtconfig worked for me. I'm using Gutsy and Skype 1.4

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 alpha?

[Eugenia Loli-Queru (eloli)]

I don't know, I don't use alphas.

My Skype fonts are allright so we can close this, at least from my part.

[Jonathan Thomas (echidnaman)]

Closing.
