http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136332         
           Summary: The font size for teh Image properties in sidebar is too
                    big
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.9.0-beta3
          Platform: unspecified
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: oliver doerr-privat de


Version:           0.9.0-beta3 (using KDE 3.5.5 "release 19.1" , openSUSE )
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15-default

I can't read many informations, when i open the sidebar "image properties" on the right border. The reason for that is, that the used font is much too big (but very readable ;-).

So please chose either a smaller font or implement whish 121372, so that i could configure a smaller font instead.

I have 1280 x 1024 display and it is still not big enough  for digikam with sidebars on both sides of the screen ;-(

Screenshot of the problem

As you can see, i can't read modified date, the compression,  camera model,
create date and flash information.

A smaller font would help very much.

Oliver,

all labels used in sidebar are "squezzed". Just move your mouse under a label and a tips will be displayed to show the complete text.

Hi Gilles,

i know that they are squeezed and how to do a work around. It's just
that is not necessary to use a font of that large size. I'll send you a
mail to your kdemail address with a screenshot "unsqueezed". This is not
a good layout.

Hello,

Do you know you can adjust the font size by using kcontrol ?
It's in "Appearance & Thems" / "Fonts".

But yes, it will change the font size in all KDE applications...

I will add that to the FAQ :)

Hi Fabien,

yes i knew it, but as you said. This would apply to all KDE applications. All other applications are using the right font size, so this is a digiKam spcific Layout problem.

-> Should be solved inside digiKam

Your screenshot shows that your menu-font is as large as the sidebar font. Either both fonts are to large, or none of them. Making the Digikam sidebar font smaller will hurt all people with normal-sized fonts.

From a quick look at the source, there is no font set at all for the properties sidebar (Gilles may correct me). This means what you see is the KDE default.

I also have a display width of 1280. When I view the screenshot in original size, it is obvious to me that each visible font in the screenshot is much bigger than what I'm used to. I assume that is your preference, but if you want large fonts it takes screen real estate, there is not much we can do for this.

Ok,

close it. I've never changed the default size of the fonts. So i believe this must be the default for my distribution.

Not as far as i know. If they are on my system, then they belöong to the default instaööation of SuSE 10.0.

I can't even find an rpm that sounds like that.

There is no RPM for that. Because Win32 fonts are controled by patents, these files must be imported manualy using a dedicaced tool.

Personally, I am pretty pedantic about beautiful, antialiased fonts, and if I reinstalled a system one of the very first KDE settings I would change is the fonts ;-)
There is the corefonts package which contains the classic fonts (Arial, Times New Roman). These fonts were once published by MS under a license that permits free copying. There are also beautiful free fonts (Bitstream Vera, extended as Dejavu). I'm not sure but I think if you have a preinstalled Microsoft system it's ok to copy over the fonts to Linux, using system admin mode in the KDE control center.
I would assume Suse has installed a basic set of fonts, so what remains to be done is go to the KDE control center and set a font in a font size small enough not to waste screen space, large enough for any refractive error of your eyes ;-)

ok, when i take a look at the control center -> fonts, i'll see that the system is mainly using the arial fonts, except from monospace and desktop. So i believe it is also using arial 12 pt for the sidebar.

So, what all of you are saying is that i should change this font to get a smaller layout inside the sidebar. Of course i can do it and so forget about this bug.

To be honest i will not do it because aall other applications looks good with the way the system is configured now.

I will vote for the whish about a seperate configuration for the fonts of digiKam instead.

Thanks to all for your hints
Oliver

Hm. I am using Arial 12 as well, and it looks very different to your
screenshot.
