I've never really understood dpi under X.
I start X by specifying 100 dpi. I'm not sure exactly what that does, but
it makes my fonts a better size.
Here's a dumb question. What's the purpose of the different dpi fonts?
Does it allow you to use a higher resolution on a smaller screen but not
have tiny fonts?
I have a 19" CRT. At 1024 resolution I have 72dpi horz. So I know images
that someone created at 72dpi look about the same on my monitor as they did
when they were created. On linux I run at 1152 horz so my dpi is more like
81.
