-----Original Message----- From: bulia byak [SMTP:bulia@dr.com] Subject: wrong font resolution Sometimes after power-on or reboot all fonts in X are much smaller - they look like they are 75 dpi, not 100 dpi as I want them to be. I restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace), this sometimes helps and sometimes not. Sometimes I need to restart X several times in a row before I get back my 100 dpi. But sometimes, the font resolution is correct right upon machine power-on. This is very frustrating and unpredictable. My system: Mandrake 8.2, XFree 4.2.0, KDE 3.0 I did the following: in /etc/X11/fs/config instead of default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100 I wrote: default-resolutions = 100,100 and then tried default-resolutions = 100,100,100,100 Neither did help much. I don't know where else I might look. Please help! I want to always have big fonts regardless of any reboots, power-ons, or X restarts... Perhaps I'm reading this backwards, but "dpi" to me means "dots per inch". Hence, if you want a character of X number of dots to appear larger, then you would want fewer dpi. ie: If the character is 75 dots high, at 75 dpi it's one inch high, while at 100 dpi it's 3/4 (.75) inch high. Perhaps the setting should be 75, rather than 100, it's pretty easy to try out...
