Hi; Norbert has done a patch to master that should turn off the Mac auto-doubling mode, but it doesn't appear to be doing anything. This is confusing, but once it does work, then people can begin to decide whether the benefits outweigh the disadvantages of turning off compatibility mode now. (If not, then what should be done to tip the balance?)
Also, no one has of yet tried to see what happens on Windows and no one has responded with the right hardware on the QA alias: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Libreoffice-qa-HiDPI-testing-for-LibreOffice-4-2-1-td4095055.html If the patches can get into a pre-release, it can get out to more people who can find or help fix problems. The change should be quite safe in that it only kicks in when the OS returns >=144 dpi. One can almost think of this as an experimental mode because so few OSes return that currently. This means it won't enable the behavior in a number of machines that need it, but it should be enough to be worthwhile, and allow input from more people. I could try to submit a patch to enable it for more DEs and versions of Windows, but it is perhaps better to be conservative initially. Xfce already allows you to set the DPI. Maybe the next version of Unity will be smart enough to return 192 dpi sometimes like Gnome 3.10 does? It would be nice to get some testing on Ubuntu. I'm not sure what to do next, and so I email you. -Keith _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
