    Hi,
    I have the following issue with font rendering. My settings are to
use 10px fonts (mostly Verdana). The things is sometimes the fonts are
smaller, sometimes are bigger (the way i see them on screen).
    It is really weird to have it like this and is annoying to always
change the font in gvim and eclipse.
    Almost every time I start KDE I will never know how the fonts will be
displayed. Is there some way to prevent such erratic behaviour ?

Thanks,
Catalin

This may or may not help but find out what DPI X is rendering your fonts 
at. I use 75dpi, but it might for some reason be set to 96 or something. 
I think both X and KDE get the chance to set it (i delt with this with 
xfce4 but i forget how i fixed it! I manually set DPI to 75 somewhere).

Cheers,
Chris
