here are the contents of that section in /usr/share/gdm/defaults.conf. note that the DPI is not specified. [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/X -audit 0 flexible=true here are the outputs of those commands you suggested $ xrdb -query *customization: -color Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintslight Xft.rgba: rgb $ xdpyinfo | grep reso resolution: 126x126 dots per inch $ grep DPI /var/log/Xorg.0.log (--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (126, 126); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config i went and forced the dpi to 96 in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf, and now the fonts are the correct size. [server-Standard] name=Standard server command=/usr/bin/X -audit 0 -dpi 96 chooser=false handled=true flexible=true priority=0 and here are the outputs now $ xrdb -query *customization: -color Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintslight Xft.rgba: rgb $ xdpyinfo | grep reso resolution: 96x96 dots per inch $ grep DPI /var/log/Xorg.0.log (++) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (96, 96); computed from -dpi X commandline option maybe this is a problem with NVIDIA's DPI autodetection? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
