Please remeber that I talk about List View. The fonts at 25% in ListView are about the same as 100% in Icons View. I have for: application,desktop,window title: Sans 12 terminal: monospace 12 This is Fedora Core 3 box with Nautilus 2.8.1. I know it is rather ancient but this one I have at work. The fonts are set as 75 dpi. Monitor is 19". What is funny the dpi in fonts dialog has nothing to do with what reports xdpyinfo. I compared it with ms windows, and with 25% setting the fonts are still larger in nautilus. The other thing is, that the vertical spacing of elements in windows explorer is different than in nautilus. I mean in nautilus we have proportionally more space between elements. My personal feeling is that it looks better in windows. On Windows I have "small fonts" - it means 96 dpi. I know that the dpi in windows has a slightly different meaning than in real world ;) but I write it here, so we have some data to compare. Exactly the same problem I have on Fedora 8 and CentOS 5. And with every Fedora release as far as I remember. Unfortuantely I left my notebook home so can't check the values. > > Do you all look at the monitor from 5 meters :) ? > > no, because i have sane defaults here. :) Hmm, my defaults are sane (more or less) for all other applications.
