This must be some new bug in the X server. Please do the following: 1. Upgrade the X server to the last available. 2. Test that the bug still exists. 3. Give some info about the graphics card of this machine and the version of xserver-xorg-core (this is in order to know to which package to reassign the bug. I suppose the X maintainers will require some additional information.) The most secure way to test 2. is the following: mv /etc/rc2.d/S*gdm /etc # disable GDM temporarily reboot # make sure the fonts are OK after the reboot X # start plain X server # press Ctrl+Alt+F1 and see if the bottom lines are cut off # press Ctrl+C to kill the X server mv /etc/S*gdm /etc/rc2.d/ > Fixed14 looks the same as Fixed16. So, I wonder whether the font size > is really changed. Fixed14 and Fixed16 are almost identical (I can not distinguish between them). If console-setup is configured to use Fixed14 you can try the following: setupcon # to make sure Fixed14 is loaded zcat /usr/share/doc/console-setup/FAQ.gz # Observe the top line on the screen loadkeys Uni2-Fixed16.psf.gz zcat /usr/share/doc/console-setup/FAQ.gz # Observe again the top line on the screen Anton Zinoviev -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-boot-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
