Go figure." I have to say, I've been a correct-DPI stickler since I began using X and have never had ugly fonts for which my DPI setting was the problem. I wonder if the "ugly fonts" are not due to some other mis-configuration like anti-aliasing not working rather than DPI. It's such a shame that KDE isn't being lauded for being sensible and GNOME/MS ridiculed. In particular on Windows; most people with fancy, high resolution displays can't read the text on them because they can't change DPI without rendering every dialog box useless. What on earth is the meaning of the term dots per inch when it is fixed at 96? I suggest renaming it to RDR (Random Dot Ratio). Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIEE andyparkins@gmail.com
