Well, they are an interesting set of links! It sounds like Ubuntu is now shipping their version of Gnome with too large defaults, at least for some people, and that this can largely be dealt with by correct choice of theme and fonts. Also that the size of the system bits does not adjust for the monitor resolution, so if your monitor is larger or smaller than the Gnome default design, you'll have to do this. Or is this misunderstanding the situation?
One of the postings suggests seeing what the difference is between the xdpyinfo resolution and the gnome resolution is. In my own case, Debian Squeeze, no tweaking with these parameters, xdpyinfo gives 101 x 101 dpi, whereas gnome (which I don't use except very occasionally) gives 96. That is odd. But still and all, and independently of this, there is a problem with Rev, and it seems, only with Rev, and it does not seem to be Gnome related, because its identical in Fluxbox, which I use all the time In Gnome just as in Fluxbox, start up Rev, and you seem to be presented with fonts sizes in the dictionary and in the menu bars of a size which, to get the same size in all other applications, you'd have to use 6 or maybe even 4 point. I can't see any difference in this whatever the window manager. So maybe this is something Rev is doing in Gtk? And if so, why on earth are they doing it? Richard, are you noticing this too? That the ide and dictionary are so small as to be almost unusable in Linux? -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/fonts-what-is-a-point-in-Linux-Gnome-tp1573008p1574524.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
