Xfce4 fonts are too big for some applications

Hi there,

overall, my fonts are just fine. However, in some applications (panel and thunar from what I've noticed so far), the fonts are about twice as big. I assume those are applications which are started quite early.

I'm on a 4k monitor, xfce4 desktop environment, dpi set to 96 in the xorg conf.

Any ideas are appreciated

Hi yorrd!

Have you tried going into your appearance settings, clicking the Fonts tab and adjusting the font size or DPI?

I had a similar issue where the font size would reset to large on every reboot. Ticking the 'Custom DPI' box in appearance settings fixed it for me. You can put the same DPI in there as well, it shouldn't make a difference.

I have done both, doesn't fix it unfortunately

EDIT:

I just tried AGAIN and it worked... Dont understand why but its fine now. For everyone wondering:

- disable custom dpi
- close appearance
- enable again
- restart

is what worked for me.
