Hello,
I just upgraded for the first time for a few months.
Starting my Gnu emacs under X11, I notice that my font (and frames) is
larger than previously, by a factor ~1.5.
I did record the following last October, and it stayed the same now:
~> cygcheck -c | egrep 'bitstream.*vera'
font-bitstream-vera-ttf 1.10-1 OK
~> xlsfonts | egrep -- '-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono.*-iso.*-1$'
-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-bold-o-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1
-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-bold-o-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1
-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1
-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-bold-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1
-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1
-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-o-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1
-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso10646-1
-bitstream-bitstream vera sans mono-medium-r-normal--0-0-0-0-m-0-iso8859-1
With list-fontsets in the *Help* buffer:
Fontset: -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-default
Fontset: -*-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-16-*-*-*-*-*-fontset-standard
Fontset: -bitstream-Bitstream Vera Sans
Mono-normal-normal-normal-*-12-*-*-*-m-0-fontset-startup
The X server greets me with a new identity:
Vendor: The Cygwin/X Project
Release: 1.8.0.0 (10800000)
Build Date: 2010-04-02
I join my cygcheck output.
Any explanation and quick fix?
Thanks,
Marc

This is a result of the change in the default server DPI announced in
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree-announce/2010-04/msg00000.html
As the announcement states, you may want to set Xft.dpi in your
~/.Xdefaults. Setting it to 75 will restore the previous font and frame
sizes in emacs under X11.
