Public bug reported: In my Karmic, although I set all font sizes as 10, qt apps always display a smaller font that gtk apps. After some investigation, I found that the DPI setting in gnome is 96, but
$ xdpyinfo | grep reso resolution: 94x94 dots per inch $ xrdb -q Xft.dpi: 96 After setting DPI to 94 in gnome, I got a same font size in both qt and gtk apps. But I think 96 is a more accurate value for my monitor. So I tried to set DPI in ~/.fonts.conf <match target="pattern"> <edit name="dpi" mode="assign"> <double>96</double> </edit> </match> But Qt doesn't respect that setting. It always considers DPI as 94. ** Affects: qt4-x11 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Qt does not respect DPI setting https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490006 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
