Hello , First try to change your preferences (assuming you use GNOME): in System / Preferences you choose Fonts. A window appears similar to the following:



Hope it will help you

Hello , go to details in that menu and change the amount of DPI (upper left) then your font size changes

Hello , I had a similar (same?) problem in Mandrake 10.0 official. When using KDE, you are only setting KDE desktop and application fonts. No matter what default fonts I chose, Evolution had tiny unchanged fonts. I opened the gnome control center (in KDE), changed the fonts there, and poof, Evolution, Gimp, etc, all changed. It is very weird. My first experience where KDE control center and default fonts didn't apply to Gnome apps. I am in Suse now, and didn't install Gnome, and don't remember what the command is to bring up Gnome font config. Give that a try though.

Hello , Linux applications use the DPI reported by the X server when converting from font point size to pixels. "Sans 10" will be a smaller number of pixels if your X server is configured at 75 DPI than if it is at 100 DPI.
