Title:
GNOME default DPI
I don't know if it's a bug in GNOME but it's still a bug in Ubuntu! I
just installed 12.04 nightly and I cannot find ANY way to fix the DPI.
It's currently set to 96 instead of 110 on my test machine, and
apparently there is no option anywhere to fix it, in spite of it being
correctly detected
upstream disagree on it being a bug in GNOME

Confirming on lucid, I have the same issue as comment #19
My issue is the following: I switch several times per day between a
laptop (131 dpi) and external monitor (92 dpi), and I want GNOME to
recognize the switch, keeping the physical font size. Doing
gconftool-2 --unset
I hope you will revert this change as soon as possible for Jaunty+1 in
order to give developers plenty of time to make sure their apps render
properly at native DPIs. It's really disappointing that this fix will
not make it into Jaunty because of this.

It seems that since Jaunty Beta, this is ignored again and there is a
default of 96 DPI (at least for both nv and nvidia) set in gconf for
LiveCD and Install.
gconftool-2 --unset /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi will remove this
default value and subsequently, X-based auto-fontsize works -
It seems broken again on current Jaunty.
Steps to reproduce:
Xorg gets DPI from EDID:
(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (85, 86); computed from UseEdidDpi X config
(--) NVIDIA(0): option
Appearances shows 96 DPI. Setting it to 96 keeps the default size,
setting it to 86 makes the fonts smaller.
Nicolo you might want to open an xorg bug rather than comment on a
closed one, gnome didn't pick anything that's the xorg detected value

I have a question. My monitor is 1440x900 and the dpi value which gnome uses is
121. With this DPI fonts are really gigantic!
Is this ok for my monitor? Or gnome picked up the wrong value?

As long as it sets the default, then I would agree this is fixed, since
it will force developers to re-scale the fonts on their apps to look
right. I see no reason not to let users override it if they want. I
just wish it would be moved out of the Appearance/Fonts control, because
it should be

All distributions which provide the file /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults

After talking to seb128 on #ubuntu-desktop, it's now clear that the
hardcoding of 96 dpi was due to this bug

time frame.
In my opinion that workaround should be removed again, because
a) hardware detection has improved a lot,

The whole situation could be compared to the bash-dash transition.
People were upset about it and complained, but the transition has been made.
Either we do the transition or we wait until 2050 when all displays
report nicely to xorg.
What has to be done imo is the following:
- Remove that
I'd be happy with just removing the workaround, and filing new bugs for
anything that doesn't work ideally with the detected DPI, either an
application making an incorrect assumption, or a detection failure.
Changing the UI to accurately reflect separate horizontal and vertical
resolutions is

What kind of device do you have? Sounds amazing! In any case, I was
only repeating the proposed solution of the GNOME developers. If there
is a better solution, such as a user dialogue or something, that would
be great. I doubt you'll want to run Ubuntu on a .75 display in any
case, as you
I have a 0.75 800x600 display, where dpi is very definitely 300.
Excluding values as nonsensical isn't the right way to do it either.
Still, I think wontfix is the correct value for this bug: it's not
going to be fixed in Ubuntu. If GNOME gets DPI independence, that will
happen entirely
This is a very critical bug, and won't fix is really not acceptable.
It seems it's been discussed on the GNOME bugzilla that the default
should only revert to 96dpi when the real DPI is not available: that is,
either it's not detected at all, or the detected value is nonsensical
(e.g. 50 ! dpi
While I certainly agree with the reason for the bug, I nonetheless
believe it to be a bug. Given that it is rather difficult to fix, and
that it will not likely be fixed in Ubuntu, I'm adjusting this from
Invalid to Won't Fix, which seems to better match the intent of the
statement about the bug
Thank you for your bug. The dpi are forced to 96 because there is too
many configuration where xorg gets the value wrong and creates issues
