Re: font size changes when dpi changes

Do you mean size in pixels or in say millimetres? The idea is to
preserve the latter.

But neither is preserved. If either of them would be preserved fonts of predefined size should look smaller after dpi is increased. Now it's the opposite, they look bigger. Verdana 13 looks bold for example.



I seem to be able to enter sizes smaller than 8 manually.
Neat, I did not know that. Thanks!

Don't know much about XLFD, but the size here could be in pixels, and I
think the 100-100 means the font was rasterized for 100 DPI.


So? It should look right, shouldn't it? But it does not look right, that's what I'm trying to point out.
