Thanks Mark! I haven't tried using nvidia's closed source drivers again (yet) but took your advice and changed the monitor setting and X server to 3.3.6 - and I'm absolutely stoked that my fonts are a normal size again! I had to set helvetica to size 13 because size 12 was unreadable... well barely readable... now its back to normal anyway. Thanks again. skinky -- But what ... is it good for?
