I had a similar problem. Try removing the xfonts-100dpi package (it seems the dpi value isn't honoured anymore - dunno why). If this doesn't help, you can try tweaking X Resources. The XWindow-User-HOWTO (install doc-linux-text or dox-linux-html) has a good explanation of what's involved. Regards, Bjoern -- Bj"orn Brill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Frankfurt am Main, Germany
