A possible solution to the bad DPI detection could be to have a simple way of allowing users to input it on install.
This could be done by showing a ruler on the screen and asking users to expand/compress it until it matches up with the markings on a real ruler. (Windows has a similar method, and it works pretty well.) This would be pretty simple for users to understand, and would give an easy failsafe in case the DPI is incorrectly detected. -- Font sizes in Gutsy are vulnerable to bad X.org DPI detection https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/118745 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
