No, he said he wanted to make Xft applications default to 96 DPI. Nothing stopping you from tweaking the Xft.dpi value to what you want it to be. I think that he has a good proposal. If Xft.dpi defaults to 96 DPI, but it is easy to tweak to what I want it to be once I log in, that is good enough for me. Rgds, -- Anders Karlsson <anders@trudheim.com> Trudheim Technology Limited
