[Bug 301158] Re: Firefox layout.css.dpi ignored in Kubuntu
Some more info on what I've found on my system... The problem seems to be with fonts that have px units for font-size (let's call them px fonts) vs. fonts with pt as font-size unit (pt fonts). Pt fonts match GNOME fonts of equal point sizes exactly with layout.css.dpi=0 and vary directly in proportion to layout.css.dpi for values 0. Px fonts are unreasonably small with layout.css.dpi=0 and are not affected by any value of layout.css.dpi from 0 through 191. At layout.css.dpi=192, px fonts suddenly double in size. They are unaffected by layout.css.dpi from 192 to 257. At layout.css.dpi=258, they grow another 50%. It seems px fonts only vary at multiples of 96dpi, with a minimum of 96dpi. At the multiples of 96dpi, we have the traditional correspondence between px and pt: 96px=72pt. In between the multiples, the ratio gets lopsided, e.g., at layout.css.dpi=191, we have 96px~=36pt. It seems to me the correct behavior would be for px fonts to vary directly with layout.css.dpi, maintaining approximately 96px=72pt for any DPI setting. -- Firefox layout.css.dpi ignored in Kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 301158] Re: Firefox layout.css.dpi ignored in Kubuntu
I am having the same problem with firefox=3.0.5+nobinonly- 0ubuntu0.8.10.1. I can see no difference between layout.css.dpi values -1 up to 191. At 192, the size of the Firefox icons and fonts gets much larger. There's another quantum at 258. My relevant settings are: Screen resolution: 1680x1050 X11 resolution (set via EDI): 96dpi Font rendering resolution: 128dpi Fond rendering: subpixel smoothing Firefox preference layout.css.dpi: 0 Firefox default font size: 16 An image showing the fonts sizes in Firefox vs. OpenOffice is attached. The only work-around I've found is to un-set allow pages to choose their own fonts and set a minimum font size. This causes some pages to render incorrectly, with overlapping boxes, etc. ** Attachment added: Font rendering in OpenOffice vs. Firefox http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20786851/Screenshot-3.png -- Firefox layout.css.dpi ignored in Kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Wait, totally ignored would be wrong. Some fonts do get bigger. I'm not familiar with web design and can't say what type of fonts these are but most of the text is still really small (e.g. the whole page www.nytimes.com is unreadable). In contrary layout.css.dpi in Firefox 2 affected all or nearly all fonts. The only solution seems to be the zoom function - which worsens the quality of images. -- Firefox layout.css.dpi ignored in Kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 301158] Re: Firefox layout.css.dpi ignored in Kubuntu
Same issue as I reported in 301559! My system is set for 124dpi (1400x1050 on a 14.1 inch lcd). Both X11.conf and Gnome setup and verified with xdpyinfo. Fonts and items are rendered properly for all applications except for Web pages rendered in Firefox. Text and content on web pages are extremely small. Layout.css.dpi has no effect when changed from -1 to 124. All pages continue to be rendered at 96dpi.

I also have this problem with Ubuntu 8.10 (amd64).

[Bug 301158] Re: Firefox layout.css.dpi ignored in Kubuntu
** Description changed: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 The option layout.css.dpi in Firefox 3.0.4 (via about:config) is ignored - in Kubuntu 8.10. + in Kubuntu 8.10 (i386). That is bad because the font size for web content is very small on my - CRT at 1280x1024 + 19 CRT at 1280x1024 To adjust the system DPI I tried the following 1) ScreenSize option in xorg.conf (increases GTK User Interface fonts but not KDE fonts) 2) X-Server command option -dpi 108 in kdmrc (increases KDE fonts but not GTK fonts) 3) Xft.dpi: 108 in an ~/.Xdefaults file (increases GTK fonts but not KDE fonts) So now I have a combination of 2) und 3) xdpyinfo reports the correct target dpi of 108. But all these settings are ignored by the Firefox web rendering and layout.css.dpi was a solution in previous versions I used (Firefox 2). -- Firefox layout.css.dpi ignored in Kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/301158 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
