Thanks.
I've had the same problem on a high resolution (1920x1080), small size screen (15.6"). The characters are tiny and anything else but native resolution makes images and characters blurred. The solution was to increase the font size on the terminals and KDE apps. However, I don't know how to make the characters in the Firefox menus and body larger. Am I supposed to run gconftool-2 with some esoteric options? -- Regards, Mick
