Sounds to me that you weren't correctly trying larger sizes. Text objects need not materially change size just because you change resolution. Usually all you need to do when changing resolution is ensure that your DPI is appropriately set. You're probably running the default 75 DPI, and it probably stayed 75 when you tried higher. Unfortunately, the 75 DPI default is all too often grossly in error. Read through http://www.mozilla.org/unix/dpi.html and maybe also some of the links on http://mrmazda.no-ip.com/auth/Font/fonts-linux-about.html and then give higher resolution another try. I run mostly either 1400x1050 or 1600x1200, depending on display size, and my eyes are a whole lot poorer now than they used to be. 800x600 makes a lot of program windows just awful to try to use, sometimes impossible. Even just 1024x768 is a big improvement in this regard, even though I consider even it to be low resolution. -- "Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven."
