Russell, the debian-x mail list (in recent times anyway) is more intended for developers and ginuea pigs of XF86 4.0. debian-users is more appropriate.
What I would imagine to fix your problem is to edit your /etc/X11/XF86Config file. I bet the 100dpi fonts are listed before the 75 dpi fonts. If so, swap their order and restart X. If this doesn't fix it, then perhaps mucking with the X server's idea of the DPI of the display is the only way to go. * Russell Davies <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [001008 17:08]: > Hi, > I'm a long time unix user -- I've just recently installed > debian on my home system, basically my problem boils down to > fonts not looking "right" in X, where right is defined as to > what I usually expect with my combination of software. > > I use twm and X everywhere, on solaris, bsd, linux -- debian is > the first instance where the fonts have looked different, they > seem to be oversized -- it happens on all applications, the > fonts in netscape look bigger, in title bars.
