But his stated aim is to increase font sizes, and use gimp at a higher resolution. Changing the DPI would mess up his expectations about gimp, as I understood them. He might as well stick to the lower resolution he prefers. I have a similar problem, due to a large monitor size coupled with 2304x1440 resolution. Font sizes for most X programs can be changed, including widow managers. Most of the web sites out there refuse to respect settings about font sizes put in browsers, though. It is annoying. Only thing I know to do is change zoom factors (and Firefox doesn't make that easy as far as I know: Opera did), squint and hope you don't ruin your eyes, or change X resolutions on the fly (Ctl-Alt-+, etc.). Web sites have really lowered my respect for graphic artists, which used to be quite high when I worked in the print medium. They don't seem to get how to design with relationships instead of exact numbers. Wierd to me that an "artist" doesn't understand using relationships. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
