Hi,
My fonts are waaay too small for my linking.
I've recently migrated to Arch (I don't know what's been keeping me ), and since the doc is *so* great, I've just had two tiny issues.
My fonts are really small. About half the size I'm used to. I formerly used Fedora, and GDM/LXDM magically made them bigger (I remember I once booted on runlevel 3 and ran startx, and the fonts weren't big).
I've checked .gtkrc-2.0
I've looked at the wiki (at Font Configuration and Fonts FAQ)
I've check all the X PPI (DPI) stuff. On both OSs the DPI is set fine (and equally on both). I calculated it manually, and I get 68.8dpi. It's set to 69 now.
Update
Running "startx -- -dpi 96" makes the fonts look *just* like I want them to. (I've already configured the rendering just like I like it, it's just the size that's annoying me).
However, running "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources" from my .xinitrc does not fix the issue.
$ cat .Xresources
xft.dpi: 96
Also, adding the following to ~/.fonts.config resulted in no changes either:
<match target="pattern">
<edit name="dpi" mode="assign"><double>96</double></edit>
</match>
Any idea what the problem is?
Thanks, cheers!
Update 2
This fixed the issue:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"
EndSection
Using Xresources didn't work for some reason, and xrdb gave no output, oddly. Or any of the other methods. Only passing the DPI explicitly to X worked. So I guess that fixes the issue (using startx -- -dpi 96 was way too dirty/hackish.
