I currently must start darktable as: xrandr --dpi 90;darktable& sleep 10; xrandr --dpi 80 or the font displayed for the configuration panel/menu and the on-screen-display for cropping is so tiny it is unreadable. Increasing the DPI setting system wide is undesirable as it causes all graphical apps to display much larger fonts. Is the change that causes this going to be reverted or some other adjustment provided to control font display in the configuration menus and the OSD for crop/rotate? tks, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
