QtConfig & Skype

Quick note: PCLinuxOS and tiny fonts in Skype. You may already know that you have to use qtconfig to set the font size for QT apps, including Skype. But the problem is that with the current PCLinuxOS, there are actually 2 qtconfig apps — one for QT3 and one for QT4. The one you want is for QT4 and it is not in your $PATH. So, in a konsole type:


/usr/lib/qt4/bin/qtconfig

this will open up the QT4 qtconfig. Set the font to something bigger and don’t forget to save your changes. Next time you open Skype, you should have bigger fonts.

If you don’t have the file listed above, you might need to install the package qt4-qtconfig.

Hope this helps.
