Thread: Huge Fonts/Toolbars in Ubuntu 8.04

hello,

installed ubuntu 8.04 live cd.

login screen fine, input font (when entering user , pass) huge.

after login real problems start... can't because fonts , toolbars gigantic. i've tried accessing preferences , modifying font size it's impossible.

know common problem i've searched forums , googled , can't seem find solution.

thanks.

don't know if help, might worth trying.

right-click anywhere on desktop, , select "change desktop background". if resultant menu big use, know there ways move window, think holding down alt key , using arrows?? (i'll try up.) assuming can see it, select "fonts" tab. toward lower right "details" button. click that.

near top left of window box specify dots per inch of screen. should number 96. screens big pixel size might use 72, small 1 can use 125. , on. can put number want in there. it'll make bigger or smaller. unless number odd, 20, fixing way workaround, , idea figure out real source of problem was. possibly, having unrealistic dots per inch number there cause trouble programs.
