That's interesting, although I guess that would be more likely if the prolem was extended to all the fonts, not just one (or a few, I'm only sure about the example I linked) -- anyway how can I set screen DPI? Option in `device` section in xorg.conf seems to have no effect. Thanks a lot for your replies so far -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
