Hello Christopher,
as I am experimenting with Kolab using a few newly created users I find
that these new font defaults are really rather small on my IBM ThinkPad
T23 with 14 inch display.
This is what xdpyinfo gives me:
version number: 11.0
vendor string: The X.Org Foundation
vendor release number: 60802000
X.Org version: 6.8.2
screen #0:
print screen: no
dimensions: 1024x768 pixels (347x260 millimeters)
resolution: 75x75 dots per inch
This is not quite correct however: I measure about 285 x 215 millimeters.
So probably I should set an DisplaySize option again in my X config.
Well I did not follow the new font default discussion. So this is just my
feedback.
Regards,
