That's the real > bug. Not really - the gnome fonts are mostly set to something like 10 points (not pixels), but if you literally render a 10 point font on a 42 inch display it comes out so small you can't read it (because, for one thing, I'm not sitting as close to a 42 inch display as I would be to a 20 inch monitor - but the EDID info in the monitor doesn't know how far away I am :-). Lying about the DPI is merely the simplest way to make the fonts readable. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
