In fresh Feisty Fawn installation (daily build 11 Apr 2007) the default dpi for gdm was much bigger then 75 or 96 (that's why fonts are too big). The workaround which worked was to change [server-Standard] section in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf by adding '-dpi 96' at the end of the line:
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -br -audit 0 -dpi 96 -- Boxes for do not scale with font (i.e. non default DPI makes it look funny) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/46709 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
