Hello All, I had this problem too. Exact same steps to reproduce as Jeremy Manning. A solution to this is to force GDM to use 96DPI fonts. This happened with 6.10 as well. I am using a dell XPS m1210 notebook, 12" screen, Nvidia 7400.
Steps to force 96DPI fonts: 1) Select 'Administration' from the 'System' menu 2) Select 'Login Window' 3) Select the 'Security' tab 4) Click on the 'Configure X-Server' button at the bottom of the screen 5) Append this argument to the text in the 'Command' text-field: '-dpi 96' (Without the ' marks) 6) Restart your X session to see the changes. -- [feisty] GDM font seems to be to big or too high DPI https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/99145 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
