crazy font size on mac computers

Description

Hi,

as Jody reported the font size on the startup screen and in QGIS can go nuts.

check current X.org auto-detect res with:

xdpyinfo | grep -B1 -A1 resolution

edit ~/.config/xfce4/Xft.xrdb

or

/etc/xdg/xfce4/Xft.xrdb

and add following line somewhere at the end: Xft.dpi: 96

(you need to edit the /etc/ file as root, so sudo the editor)

then log out, and log back in.

I tired the above fix; it had no effect.

This issue is still open - apparently it is not mac specific.

Can someone test this with version 3.0, downgrading to minor until we get more information. Likely to effect a very small number of users.

Verified the issue is still present with 3.0 RC5.

Note this issue is verified with a macbook pro; it is unknown what other mac machines are effected.

QGIS seems to be the only application effected; it prevents the use of QGIS.

Can we confirm this for 5.5 builds?

comment:9 by kalxas, 12 years ago

Is this issue still valid? Anyone with a Mac to test? :) I propose to close this one since 3.0 is way outdated...
