Fixing fonts on KDE in Mandrake 8.0:

To switch from the default 75 DPI resolution,
* Edit etc/X11/xdm/Xservers

change the command line:

:0 local usr/X11R6/bin/X

to include "-dpi 100", as:

:0 local usr/X11R6/bin/X -dpi 100

(Keep any other options)

* In '/etc/X11/fs/config': switch the positions of these lines (as
'root'):

      /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
      /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,

so it's:

      /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
      /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,

* In KDE's Control Center: 'LookNFeel' - 'Fonts' change the setting for
'Fixed Fonts' from 'courier' to 'lucidatypewriter'
* Do the same in the 'WebBrowsing' - 'Konqueror Browser' - Appearance'
module.
