I also use Vector Linux, the X-Chat is perfect in that.

Please Assist.

There are a few things that you can check look in the file /etc/kde3/kdm/Xservers and see if it is set for -dpi 75 if it is then change it to -dpi 100 you then have to restart kdm with /etc/init.d/kdm restart this best done from the console. You can also check in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 and make sure that the type1 FontPath is at the bottom of the list and that the 100 and 75 lines have the :unscaled on the end of the line:
Code:
FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
FontPath      "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled"
If the fonts are too small more the 100dpi above the 75dpi line you have to restart the xserver for this to take effect. And make sure that the font paths that are in the XF86Config-4 are also in the file /etc/X11/XftConfig before restarting the xserver in the dir lines:
Code:
dir "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType"
dir "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/CID"
dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TrueType"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/truetype"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-bitstream-vera"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/decoratives"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/ttf/western"
dir "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/xfree86-nonfree"
dir "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1"
