Title:
Firefox uses the wrong DPI; should use the GNOME desktop setting in
GConf
Status in Mozilla Firefox:
Unknown
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.
