So I got want I always wanted... the best freeken monitors I could get
my hands on.... Samsung UHD LU28D590DS/ZA. (As it turns out, there's a
new 32" monitor which just came out, so be it for getting my hands on
the latest technology....)
So I've run into a rather unexpected problem, I have a monitor with too
much resolution. I never thought that could possibly happen. My main
problem is that the font on all the applications I run are just too
small to read. So I spent time digging through all the font options (I
use the Gnome desktop environment) and found an option which would scale
up all the fonts by a factor of 2. So that kinda helped. Now my fonts
all look odd.
Basically, I've ended up with a rather ugly looking environment with
mismatched font sizes and icons. For example when I run thunderbird,
most of the fonts are readable, but the text in the actual emails comes
up in the default font size of 10 or 11 points or something like that
and I cant read it. I can use the wheel button to zoom the text so I can
read it but its just an awkward work around.
So, has anyone run into this UHD problem? Are there any gnome set ups
designed for UHD resolution which fix all the font and icons to be
working together to give one a pleasing visual experience when viewing
all the application windows?
Thanks!
Steve.
