I've tried googling up the answers, but I gave up.

The worst part is waiting for rpm.pbone.net
21:40:06
xrayspx
Nah, that's fine.
21:40:19
nutz
install from source!!!
21:40:25
xrayspx
could run GDB against control-center and change something to see what file it changes.
21:40:40
xrayspx
I would have the same dependencies, now with the added fun of waiting for compiles. Fuck that noise.
21:41:15
nutz
yeah but the gnome install script is like the ports tree, goes out and gets all of the deps for you and compiles em

Firefox has its own font management stuff for this, but it is horrid. And I refuse to manually adjust the size every fucking time. When manually adjusting it, it makes things smaller, but it does not fix the spacing issues.
21:46:21
xrayspx
No shit.
21:46:26

Fuck GNOME in the Goat Ass.

I refuse to spend > $1000 to make this problem go away.
21:47:27
