Package: gnome-settings-daemon Version: 2.22.2.1-1 Severity: normal On almost all of my systems, X properly detects the size of the display and calculates the DPI. For the few systems where it doesn't, I've manually specified DisplaySize in /etc/X11/xorg.conf so that X knows the correct DPI. However, gnome-settings-daemon ignores this value, and instead uses the gconf key /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi to determine the DPI of the display and size fonts appropriately. Thus, on all of my systems, *including* those which correctly autodetect the DPI, I have to manually fix the DPI in GNOME to get appropriately sized fonts. gnome-settings-daemon should support using the DPI value from X, rather than overriding it. Ideally it should do so by default so that it Just Works on many systems, but I'll settle for an "unbreak my DPI" setting if I have to.
