Up till now, Fedora has been the only distro I've tried that didn't have this problem, with fedora 9, the problem shows up - now everyone has the same disease :-(. The GDM login screen is being anal-retentive about interpreting the EDID information provided by the monitor via the X server. I'm using a 42 inch 1920x1080 HD TV as a monitor. If you do the math, you find this comes out to 52 dots per inch. When it selects a font of the requested point size, that winds up with a pixel size of somewhere between 3 and 5 :-). Needless to say, the fonts are almost totally unreadable. Someone should teach gdm to check the computed pixel size and bump up the point size till there are enough pixels to render the fonts. Or maybe the login screen should just request hunge point sizes (after all, it isn't using the space for anything else anyway). Of course, the standard gnome desktop has the same problem as well, but if I squint enough, I can find the preference setting and tell it to use 96 dpi instead of 52 :-). P.S. Are the f9 repos not up yet? I also keep getting popus saying the software source cannot be found. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
