Oh, you can get a high DPI display much cheaper: just buy a MBP Retina or a Pixel (or a Kirabook, now). But they kinda prove the point that (as you say) dpi-fundamentalism is misguided. My laptop is 1920x1080 at 13", which is about 170dpi, but if I set it to 170 dpi the fonts look *huge*. If I set it to 170dpi and put the laptop 1.5 feet away from my eyes, where my desktop displays are, it looks fine...and then I can't type on it any more. In practice, I set my laptop's dpi to about 130 to get it to 'look right'. I rather suspect the world is going to go with the dumb-but-practical Apple solution: have a few DPI Buckets and just support those. So maybe you'll be able to use 96, 144 or 192 and things will be made to 'look right'... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
