When I start X11 using a simple startx, I get the right size fonts, corresponding to
what is defined in Fonts in the KDE control center, or in Mozilla's defaults.
When I start X11 using startx -- :0, I get fonts that are about 6 steps too large. So
to get the fonts to look right, I have to decrease the font size in the KDE Control
Center from, say, 12 to 6.
GUI fonts in all applications are too large -- the splash screen, mozilla, KDE.
It doesn't matter which x-server number you tell startx to start. For instance,
startx -- :3 does the same. User also doesn't matter.
When you pass arguments to the X server via startx, you are overriding
the default arguments sent to the X server by xinitrc.
The startx(1x) and xinit(1x) manpages have more on this.
Try these two command lines:
startx -- :0 -dpi 75
startx -- :0 -dpi 100
Which looks more correct?
