After some initial euphoria with the QXGA 2Kx1.5K T60 laptop (two page 12 point text in OpenOffice looks wonderful!), I am running into font problems, mostly browser related.
Google gadgets are clipped. Some flash content comes in Really Small. Some use 5x7 fonts, the line spacing is 1.2 mm! Thumbnails are tiny. I imagine I will find fixes, but the original incentive (making cleaner looking, easier to read characters for old eyes) is not happening the way I had hoped. The pixels on this thing are 0.15mm. Crazy small. An iPhone is 0.16mm, and an 11.6 inch WXGA 1101 EeePC is 2.3mm. Yes, I can use a magnifier like kmag, or bring the machine up in 1024x768 screen mode. The Ctrl+ "view larger" on firefox does expand pictures, but some things ignore that. Hopefully, in a week or two, I will find some fixes, probably some hidden firefox configuration parameters. Meanwhile, I can think vengeful thoughts about all the young programmers writing unscalable apps. Someday, their young eyes will get old, they will no longer be able to see their own apps, get fired, and live in the gutter :-/ Keith -- Keith Lofstrom [email protected] Voice (503)-520-1993 KLIC --- Keith Lofstrom Integrated Circuits --- "Your Ideas in Silicon" Design Contracting in Bipolar and CMOS - Analog, Digital, and Scan ICs _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
