[SOLVED]Fonts different after upgrade to 4.1.2

[muzicman0]

In Kubuntu 8.04, I had normal size fonts...when upgrading to 8.10, the fonts are bigger...I made a few changes in system settings to a smaller font, but that has some wierd issues also, some things just don't display correctly...does any one else see this, and is there a way to change it back?

It could be a DPI issue. What does

xdpyinfo |grep reso

Show?

And you could try

systemsettings|Appearance|Fonts|Force Fonts DPI[/code to 96dpi

the out put shows 132x132 per inch...

OK, so if I set it to 96 DPI in system settings, it is better...thanks...

is there a way to set it that way for the whole system? That way my login would be back to normal also. Also, I have a high res (1920x1280) display, am I loosing any quality by setting to a lower DPI?

You could add the following to the "Device" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf

	Option "noedid"	"true"
	Option "dpi"		"96x96"

I'm not sure about the quality issue though.

Perfect! it worked!

I booted the livecd of 8.04, and it also showed 96dpi also...

Thanks so much!

Excellent!

One note - the xorg options only work for the nvidia driver.
