Are you talking about the fonts that GTK apps use to display "content", or the fonts used in GTK widgets (menus, toolbars.. etc.) ?? > Is there any way to force GTK to ignore DPI for displaying fonts?

Assuming you are talking about widget fonts and that you are not using gnome as your desktop (?) .. just a few isolated GTK apps.. you may have to take a look at files called .gtkrc* or gtkrc (home directory.. /etc.. possibly other places..) and figure out the syntax of the font-related statements by trial and error. As to doing it a bit more efficiently and in a more user-friendly manner, I've had some success in the past with neat little utilities called gtk-theme-switch and gtk-theme-switch2 .. there's a not very obvious button on their main window where you can click and start a font chooser that lets you set the size of GTK widgets fonts and if IIRC, see the result of your changes w/o having to restart the apps or the X session.. This worked in "etch" and I have no idea if "lenny" has it as well. > I would like to keep correct DPI for other applications. At least that's the way I do it.. First, I set the DPI to it's real value by dividing one of my screen's dimensions in pixels by its physical dimensions in inches, and _then_ I proceed to change font sizes to suit my preferences. The last time I had to go through the font-tweaking hassle was about two years ago and some/all of the above may no longer be true. In this event I'm sure s/o more knowledgeable will correct me.
