The dpi issue is something that I have seen a lot in Linux distributions
historically, and it has been one of the things that annoys me so much
With manually setting the dpi value, fonts get much better. But they are
still not as smooth and great as with Feisty. Feisty had brilliant fonts

Could it be related to the changed font rendering in Gutsy? Can I send

Thanks for the fast reply!
I can resize them, but it seems that either the good fonts are
missing, or the font rendering has completely changed. Fonts don't look
so smooth anymore with Gutsy (I tested Tribe3 and Tribe4), and they are
much too small, in the LiveCD as well as in the installed

I just did an in-place upgrade from Feisty to Gutsy, and it seems to be *much*
