Subject: [Newbie]wrong font resolution
Sometimes after power-on or reboot all fonts in X are much smaller -
they look like they are 75 dpi, not 100 dpi as I want them to be. I restart
X (ctrl-alt-backspace), this sometimes helps and sometimes not. Sometimes I
need to restart X several times in a row before I get back my 100 dpi. But
sometimes, the font resolution is correct right upon machine power-on. This
is very frustrating and unpredictable.
My system: Mandrake 8.2, XFree 4.2.0, KDE 3.0
I did the following: in /etc/X11/fs/config instead of
default-resolutions = 75,75,100,100
I wrote:
default-resolutions = 100,100
and then tried
default-resolutions = 100,100,100,100
Neither did help much. I don't know where else I might look. Please
help! I want to always have big fonts regardless of any reboots, power-ons,
or X restarts...
Perhaps I'm reading this backwards, but "dpi" to me
means "dots per inch". Hence, if you want a character
of X number of dots to appear larger, then you would want
fewer dpi.
ie: If the character is 75 dots high, at 75 dpi it's one inch
high, while at 100 dpi it's 3/4 (.75) inch high.
Perhaps the setting should be 75, rather than 100, it's pretty
easy to try out...
