I have a 19"LCD with 1440x900 resolution. The DPI comes out to 90, making the defaults too SMALL. I have to increase the font size to 12 to read the screen, since my eyes are not great. Decreasing the font size to 8 could mean I give up Ubuntu, because I can't read anything, a necessary thing to change the font size to bigger. -- Charlie Kravetz Linux Registered User Number 425914 [http://counter.li.org/] Never let anyone steal your DREAM.
