|
|
Hello world,
I, recently, replaced my monitor with another one and since then I get crappy fonts on mozilla's preferences menu and on pages with non-truetype fonts. The resolution is the same [1280x1024] and I changed only the freqs [new | h : 30-107, v : 48-160]. If I switch the resolution to 1600x1200 everything is ok (but it's unreadable - it's 19") so I guess it has something to do with dpi settings. Anyone ?

Seems odd, but if you use starx, you can try startx -- -dpi 100 or dpi 96 _________________ Quis separabit? Quo animo? |

Thanx, that worked ! How can I make that option "permanent" for startx ?

which startx will probably return /usr/X11R6/bin/startx. You can edit that file and try putting it in either the defaultserverargs or serverargs variable.
Code: | defaultserverargs="-dpi 100" |
Also, you could make an alias for startx. I haven't actually verified that the serverargs option works yet. Someone else was having problems getting the nolisten option working. _________________ Quis separabit? Quo animo? |

You can also simply set the default font-resolutions used by X in /etc/X11/fs/config :
#
# X Font Server configuration file
#
# allow a max of 4 clients to connect to this font server
#client-limit = 4
# no tcp, use sockets!
no-listen = tcp
# when a font server reaches its limit, start up a new one
clone-self = on
# alternate font servers for clients to use
#alternate-servers = foo:7101,bar:7102
# where to look for fonts
# Some of these are commented out, i.e. the TrueType and Type1
# directories in /usr/share, because they aren't forced to be
# installed alongside X.
#
catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi, ##this sets the font load order
