Thats exactly the reason why i thought, that kde is "optimized" for 75dpi,
because on it looks best on my 14''laptop-display as well as on my 19''
deskop-display with 75dpi.
Calculating the dpi for both displays would give me some values about
92-96dpi but I think 75dpi looks kind of better.
Personaly I find "dpi" as it pretty useless for monitor-description, since
we have already all data needed: 1280x1024 (19'') for example. But i
admint, that i may have not fully understood this hole "graphics-thingy".
BTW as far as i remember XP has only two settings for dpi 96(default) and
some-other-but-not-75 (don't remember the exact value).

Me too ;)
I wish someone at kde.org could implement some inside-kde-solution for
setting the dpi, so we finaly have a common basis for things like setting
the default fontsize.
Nice Weekend
