I do not know if this is a specific gitk issue or something else. I cannot find any information about it online. When I start gitk in my repository gitk comes up but all the font and all the menus are Extremly small. (see attached image). My OS is Red Hat 6.6 git version is 2.0.3 (i tried the 2.9.2 version also and this too gives the same small font) I am running in bash also tried in KSH Could you give an insight if this is a known gitk issue or that this is a bug? Regards, Jessie Hernandez ``` ## Trần Ngọc Quân, 2016-07-27 08:21 Subject: Re: Very Very small fonts in gitk Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/d10f574d-20fe-cdff-3d4e-0d17db5b1c86%40gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On 27/07/2016 15:05, jessie hernandez wrote: > Dear git, > > I have been dealing with an issue in gitk for a while now.

A colleague looked at it and he reset xrdb with xrdb -remove -all apparently this works and my issues has been fixed.
