That's because you have a dpi to match your font. > the rediculous 147. I mean, that there is a fat font. I can only assume > it's the driver assuming I want a more readable font given my 1920x1200 > display, but 147 is overkill, IM(NS)HO DPI is dots per inch. The nvidia driver is calculating your DPI as 147, because it thinks your display has 147 dots per inch. That number is only ludicrous if your display doesn't have anywhere near 147 dots per inch. The idea is that a font size is roughly the same no matter what your DPI is, so the statement "I can read 12pt fine but 8pt is too small for my poor eyes" means something. Of course in your case, that would be "I can read 4pt fine, but 2pt is just too small for me." ;-) -- .O.
