Re: [Epiphany] Re: Font sizes

[Josh Goebel <josh marengocave com>]

OK... the real deal... once X is up if I kill the epiphany-bin --server
instance started in .xinitrc and start a new server instance or even
regular instance the fonts are GREAT.

In my .xinit file I have:

exec gnome-settings-daemon &
exec gkrellm2 &
exec fluxter -w &
exec idesk &
exec epiphany-bin --server &
exec fluxbox

I use fluxbox as my WM but a lot of Gnome apps, so I need the settings
to be correct... I think epiphany-bin is running too soon (before the
settings daemon is done or something) and missing some settings.  I
don't know... switching the order that they load in really doesn't seem
to help.

So it appears to not be an Epiphany specific problem, but alas still one
affecting me and I would left help if anyone has any thoughts.
