Ah, that seems to help. The default is -1 which:
"Use the host system's logical resolution or 96, whichever is
greater,..."
So it seems on my system it was using 96. My DPI is set correctly in
my xorg.conf (my DPI = 81) so I changed it to zero, which I assume says to use
the
DPI as set in my config. Seems to work.
Thanks,
Still, I sure wish I understood how fonts are being selected by
the browser. It would be interesting to see what fonts get selected
when using different CSS settings, for example.
