    super tiny fonts with an xorg.conf installed.

    My gtk at qt fonts will suddenly become small when I install an xorg.conf file with nvidia-settings. I can revert it by removing the file. Not really sure what the problem could be. Operating System: Ubuntu Kylin 22.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Kernel Version: 6.2.0-32-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 2600X Six-Core Processor Memory: 47.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080/PCIe/SSE2

    Can't you just adjust the system font size in settings?
    It also would not hurt to show your xorg.conf file

    Re: super tiny fonts with an xorg.conf installed.

    My problem is that I have multiple desktop envrionments running different things all on the same desktop, so there are many font configurations involved. KDE, xfce, gtk, qt. After ap plying this xorg.conf file, the issue happens.

    Code:
    # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings
    # nvidia-settings:  version 510.47.03

    Re: super tiny fonts with an xorg.conf installed.

    I found why, and please used code tags for any terminal or text.conf files.
    You have nothing here:
    Code:
    Section "Files"
    EndSection
    My suggestion would be like this example:
    Code:
    Section "Files"
            FontPath     "/usr/local/share/fonts/bitstream-vera/"
            FontPath     "/usr/local/share/fonts/cyrillic/"
            FontPath     "/usr/local/share/fonts/webfonts/"
            FontPath     "/usr/local/share/fonts/dejavu/"
            FontPath     "/usr/local/share/fonts/terminus-font/"
    EndSection
    Edit the path as needed for your use, and font names to your liking.
