Font size extremely small in certain parts of programs. [SOLVED]
I recently switched my video card from an ATi HD4870 using catalyst to an nVidia GTX 550 Ti using nvidia-beta drivers. It took a lot of toying around before I could even get X to start without getting stuck on SLiM. Now that I finally have X running, almost all of my fonts are screwed up, while the actual resolution is fine. I managed to make some of the fonts readable by making the font size very large in the application settings, but some text remains unreadably small, here's a screenshot.
My WM is OpenBox (with no accompanying DE), and using obconf I managed to make the window headings and the _[]X buttons visible by raising the font size from 8 to 24. The text in obconf itself is still unreadably small. In firefox, all of the UI text is small, but the text on webpages is completely normal.
I installed nvidia-beta and nvidia-utils-beta from the AUR using packer, as well as lib32-nvidia-utils-beta, which I believe was in the official repos. I generated xorg.conf using nvidia-xconfig, and I also have a 20-nvidia.conf file in xorg.conf.d, which contains
Section "Device"
Identifier "Default nvidia Device"
Driver "nvidia"
Option "NoLogo" "True"
EndSectionI could keep raising font sizes in everything, but that's way too dirty. What could possibly be messing up the font sizes but nothing else?
