Hi,

You see, I migrated from RH8 to Debian recently. Under X in Debian, I noticed that some of my fonts are a bit bigger.

I use fluxbox, and its configuration is the same for both systems, but its menu, title bar, etc are noticeable larger than that in RH8. I.e., the same "lucidasans-10" font looks about 60~80% larger.

All I did was to change the values round in the listing so that 75 came before 100, hence the list now looked like the following:

Section "Files"
    ###FontPath "unix/:7100"                    # local font server
    # if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/cyrillic"
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo"
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi"
    FontPath    "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
EndSection

Now when I restarted X, it was normal. Problem solved.
