Hey guys,

please take a look at the screenshot which i put as attachment.
As you can see, the fonts are really small! I never had such a problem with 1.3 where the font size was always identic to the rest of the system.

So could you tell me please how i can change the font size?
I've already tried with both dynamic and static version. I'm using kubuntu feisty with kde 3.5.6.

thanks a lot.

Can you please elaborate more on how to do that for not techy people .

Still Skype should provide font control itself without additional programs. Please hear us Skype People.

Which distribution are you using?
If Debian, Ubuntu etc. look for the "qt4-qtconfig"-package and install it.
There you can change the font size of qt-apps.

Or maybe here:

At the moment we are using whatever defaults Qt4 has, and as it was noted before - this can be easily changed by using qtconfig tool.

We do plan to make our own font settings tho, to let users make finer tuning of how Skype looks.

"qtconfig-qt4" Got it working.

I used qtconfig-qt4 to change Skype fonts to the values I use with gnome, they draw a little larger than they should, caused by different dpi settings I think. Does anybody know how to change dpi settings with QT4?
berkus
Best way is to enforce DPI setting for your X server. (Use google)
