Title: Firefox uses the wrong DPI; should use the GNOME desktop setting in GConf Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: New Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “ubufox” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 I noticed that the text on my homepage was larger than it used to be: http://alex.weej.com/ After double-checking my source code (and finding that the font should be 10pt high), I checked to see what would happen if I set the DPI manually to that of my screen. In about:config I changed layout.css.dpi from -1 (automatic?) to 96, and this caused the text to be drawn at the right size. Firefox is apparently checking the DPI settings for my screen automatically. xdpyinfo reports my screen as being: screen #0: dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (300x230 millimeters) resolution: 108x113 dots per inch Which is a bug in X also introduced this cycle. Firefox should use the GNOME DPI setting when its own DPI setting is "automatic" (-1). This value currently resides in GConf under /desktop/gnome/font_rendering/dpi. This also affects Epiphany, which is how I found the problem in the first place.
