So I understand the 14% calculation, but help me understand the underlying technology. Is the DPI how a font file, which I presume is some fixed size, like 25x25, gets scaled onto the screen? I'm not clear about the conversion from the font to the number of dots used to draw the font on the screen. With my limited understanding it seems very arbitrary. With respect to Dale's "huge" problem there's also a scale factor in KDE that can be set by the user, or could be set wrong such that it will scale up what's drawn on the screen.

He will (the way I read the messages) sometimes be talking about different machines or different monitors. His 'main rig", his "new rig", etc. - Mark
