Huge font in gui menus (both QT and GTK) [Solved]

lorilan · 2015-04-11 08:51:50

Hello, since the last time I ran pacman, I have this huge font in my softwares with XMonad. Here is a screenshot http://i.imgur.com/3ERKvKV.png
For comparison the file manager xfe displays the font as regular size, whereas it's huge in okular, vlc and chrome (menu only, the page content is displayed at regular size). Even the font in xterm was huge. I was able to fix it by editing ~/.Xresources

After searching for similar problem, I already tried the xrandr --dpi trick, I edited ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and put
gtk-font-name=Monospace Regular 8 but it does'nt fix anything.
I also use gnome-tweak-tool to set the police at 8 but it does'nt chang a thing

If I launch gnome instead I don't have these problem

Thank you in advance for your help.

Here is the log of my last use of pacman:

I don't know why the configuration suddenly broke but if people have similar problem I fix mine with
- lxappearance a gtk+ theme switcher to edit gtk config
- qtconfig-qt4 for qt
