Take a PCF file with a given name that appears in both the 75dpi and 100dpi directories, and xfd them both according to their XLFD names in fonts.dir: xfd -fn '-adobe-courier-medium-o-normal--8-80-75-75-m-50-iso10646-1' xfd -fn '-adobe-courier-medium-o-normal--11-80-100-100-m-60-iso10646-1' (Hint: the one with the "75"s in it is a 75dpi font, and the one with the "100"s in it is a 100dpi font".) That 100dpi fonts display larger shouldn't be too great a shock if one realizes that there is a proportional relationship between "dots" and "pixels", the fact that most computer monitors are raster-based devices, and that actual dpi increases with resolution for a fixed physical screen size. -- G.
