DPI is a fixed property of your monitor. So, if you change that setting in a given computer the fonts will change size. If you want all your computers to display fonts the same size you need to set each computer to it's correct DPI setting. > I synchronized X DPI setting and gnome DPI setting, but the problem persists. If by "the problem" you mean "when X change dpi, and I change it accordingly in gnome-font-properties, font size changes" you didn't understand my previous mail since that's not a problem at all it's a feature. > And if it really is as you are saying, why I do not observe the same behaviour > in Mozilla, OOo and other non-gtk2 apps? Possibly because they're getting their DPI setting from somewhere else and not acting correctly on your changes. Anyway, *those* apps are the ones showing incorrect behaviour, GNOME is doing the right thing by reacting to your DPI change. > Mpiktas Pedro
