Binary package hint: openoffice.org
I fresh-installed Gutsy i386 a recently. I used the spreadsheet once without noticing any problems, but the first time I opened a Powerpoint presentation, the openoffice.org menu bars had a tiny font. The Tools>Options>View>User Interface>Scaling function maxes out at 130% (a separate bug?).
While attempting to fix or at least circumscribe the problem, I adjusted my Gnome System>Preferences>Appearance>Fonts>Details>Resolution, which I had manually set to 114 dpi almost immediately after the Gutsy install. I reduced it to 96 dpi and below. This had the odd effect of reducing the apparent size of my Desktop fonts (expected) while _increasing_ the apparent size of the Openoffice.org toolbar and dialog fonts. Furthermore, increasing the Gnome System Font Resolution back up to 111 dpi (based on my monitor specs and display resolution) made the Openoffice.org fonts grow yet bigger. I could then set Tools>Options>View>User Interface>Scaling at 100%.
That is to say, I solved my problem, but I don't understand why it happened in the first place, and why the system did not respond reproducibly to some simple adjustments.
This seems to be more of a bug than a "feature". |
