Dear Roman, Claude, List, today i had the opportunity to test both of your recommendations regarding different font sizes on identical machines.
Claude's hint was very nice, to query the DPI setting via: > grep DPI /var/log/Xorg.o.log the nvidia README in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/ gave an additional hint: > xdpyinfo | grep dimension Roman was right too, specifying the DPI value at X startup. You can even put this inside your xorg.conf as: > Option "DPI" "85 x 86" thanks for the help! regards, Peter * Roman Haefeli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2008-02-16 15:50]: > if the same os is some linux flavour, it is probably because of > different display settings that result in different font scalings. i > noticed, that on computers with smaller resolution sometimes tinier > fonts are used. unfortunately, i don't know what the correct solution > for this problem is, if there is anything that could be considered > *correct*. however, i sometimes was able to solve it by giving the > option '-dpi 80' when doing 'startx'. alternativel it might also help to > specify 'DisplaySize X Y' in 'Section "Monitor"' in your xorg.conf. > Making the Display bigger than it actually is scales down fonts and vice > versa. > > roman > > > > On Sat, 2008-02-16 at 11:29 +0100, Peter Plessas wrote: > > Hi! > > > > What reason can there be if the same patch does not display the same > > fontsizes on two different computers, both running the same OS and the > > same Pd version? > > > > regards, PP > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > PD-list@iem.at mailing list > > UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> > > http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list > > > > > ___________________________________________________________ > Der fr?he Vogel f?ngt den Wurm.
