Trying to change fonts was a good idea. specially with searching docs for
helvetica
.
in /etc/X11/XF86Config had to append to the fonts-pathes
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi"
there was only
FontPath "/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled"
which blocks scaling.
looks a bit ugly now, but proportions are right.
also there is a "fetchmsttfonts" on suse, which fetches ttf-fonts from m$,
but seems it misses helvetica.
