Hi all, It is unfortunate that someone in the Linux world followed yet another piece of M$ brain damage and decided that X should lie to all the apps and tell them that the screen DPI is 96. I have a little program that is run before my window manager starts which sets the DPI to the actual honest-to-goodness value. This automagically fixes most things for me without me needing to tweak all the font sizes. And, as an added bonux, when I tell a non-brain-dead program to draw text at (say) 12pt, the font actually appears at 12pt on the screen. I don't use "a full TDE session", so I'm not sure where the best place to do this is for TDE (or, for that matter, whether TDE will correctly deal with DPI != 96). However, essentially my program finds out the physical size of the screen, the number of pixels, calculates the pixels per inch, and then runs xrandr --output $SCREEN --dpi $DPI where $SCREEN is the name of the screen to be set, and $DPI is the calculated number of pixels per inch. Interestingly, recent Xorgs allow a non-integer DPI setting. Cheers.
