[Bug 564072] Re: DPI is not recognized by UBUNTU, so fonts, icons and the whole system is too small

Since this bug is labeled as gtk+2.0, I'd be interested to see also work continued on the gtk+2.0 toolkit. By manually editing gtk+2.0 themes, one can at least double some elements' dimensions and it seems not to break the layout of applications (of course such a theme derivative is then specifica

Thibault - sort of. The main reason that the image quality is worse is that LCD panels just dont look much good at anything other than their native resolution, even on Windows or OS X. The difference in DPI is probably only one of the intermediate factors involved. The good news is that Unity 7

It seems I have the same bug on my laptop with the Natty release. I'm using a Dell Latitude D830 with an Nvidia Quadro NVS 135M. I installed the proprietary drivers. I try to change the resolution (in pixel) with nvidia-settings. With 1920*1200 (native resolution) I have : xdpyinfo | grep dime

So you tell that it's not the job of the OS to render the webpages for example at the DPI of the screen ? Under Windows 7, there is something that function partially, it doesn't detect the DPI automatically, but you can choose to big-size the system by 125% or 150%, but even when doing this, it wi

The DPI setting to may knowledge is only used when rendering text or when calculating font matrices, otherwise its completely ignored. To fully support DPI dependent rendering as a whole would require changes on pretty much all levels. As an example are image sizes on webpages often specified in p
