Public bug reported:
I upgraded to Ubuntu 9.04 on my T61p thinkpad. Afterwards the screen
fonts were all huge, making the appearance of Ubuntu (all menus and all
applications, including text in documents) very ugly and not user
friendly.
I found that the problem was related to a setting of 146 dots per inch
resolution in Appearance > Fonts > Details > Resolution. Changing this
back to 96 dpi resolved the issue.
I see that "Font size optimisation" is advertised as a new feature of
9.04. "Font dot-per-inch settings are now optimised based on the
monitor’s capabilities, rather than defaulting to 96dpi. "
Apparently this new feature isn't working as intended.
My hardware:
ThinkPad T61p 6459CTO Core2Due, 15.4 WUXGA TFT, NVIDIA FX570M, 4GB Geil RAM,
120 GB HDD
(I have no idea which package this is related to.)
