Thread: pgAdmin3 font behaviour under KDE

Hi All,

I've been using pgAdmin3 quite a bit (my hat is off a second time to you and 
your team Dave - very very nice) however I don't know how to correct the font 
size under kde.

When I run the app in Gnome the font sizes are goverened quite nicely by 
Gnome's settings so I can scale as desired.  When I run it in KDE the default 
font sizes are used and these are quite large.  I presumed that under X when 
you run a Gnome app in another Window manager that it would run using your 
current GTK setup (I think this works with QT and kde apps in other Window 
Managers).

Anybody have any hints as to how the font sizes that I desire can be achieved?  
I'm presuming passing something on the command line would do it (I haven't 
googled for it yet).

Rgds,

Jason

Thanks. :-)

You shouldn't need to. It should be determined by wxWindows/GTK but
perhaps is not. Are you using a build against wxWindow 2.4 per-chance? If
so, please try building again the wxWindows 2.5 tarball on our ftp servers
- it has vastly improved sizing code.
If it's one of our binary builds, then that should already be wx2.5, so in
that case can you email a screenshot showing the problem you have?

Hi Dave,

I'm using the Mandrake 9.1 rpm build so figured that it would already be wxw 
2.5.

Interestingly when I use Galeon in KDE the same problem pops up with regards 
to the GTK stuff... even if I tell KDE to apply colors and fonts to non-kde 
apps so maybe there's something wrong there - strange cause it's just a 
standard Mandrake install - no special stuffs.

I'll try a build from source and let you know.

Rgds,

Jason
