AKA "dot pitch" or dots per inch (DPI). The most correct technical solution has nothing to do with the desktop environment or fonts being used. Nor is it changing the display resolution (which will simply look bad), using magnifying glasses or sucking it up. It's to override the X server's DPI using xrandr assuming a RandR compliant driver. "xrandr --dpi 96" is the default for most X servers. Change 96 to 120 for 25% magnification, 144 for 50% magnification, 168 for 75% magnification, and 192 for 100% magnification. For other drivers you need to set DPI in the Monitor section of your Xserver config file or as an argument to the command that starts the server. Check the man page for your driver/X server for specifics. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
