To get a size that will specify 100dpi I have found that often it's required to take your physical display size and divide the numbers by two. This will keep the same aspect ratio and X will then use a larger font size. Another solution is to remove the 75dpi fonts or reorder the font list but that is a bit extreme. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
