  Wrong!
You got any stats to back this claim?

I could ask you the same question, but in reverse to back up your claim.

Except that by your claims defaults dont matter because people change it so often anyway. Considering the number of usability studies that show the opposite I would be pretty skeptical of that.


Just about all users over 40 need reading glasses. Many users now have large screen monitors (> 17" viewable). Both situations beg for increased font sizes. Many users install 3rd party, even M$ fonts. There's countless posts on all Linux related ML's, NG's, Forums, etc., about font choices an changing and/or sizing them.

So why do WM's include the ability to change from default fonts and sizes? If "Most users dont change any font defaults".

There a number of preferences which users dont usually change. In other words, just because there is a preference doesnt mean everybody is using it.


The problem is mainly with Gnome, that uses such a small default font size, and an almost always incorrect default dpi (96). BUT, also includes a tool for changing font defaults, including dpi. The problem is these changes aren't preserved during logout.

You have a bug report on this again?

Rahul
