Re: [Solved] Font changes after reboot

The screenshot does not really explain the problem. If I had to guess, I assume the dpi is off and the font is initially perceived too big??
Luckily I don't have to guess :-P

Please elaborate on the issue and post your Xorg logs and the output of "xdpyinfo | grep resol" (following my guess on the issue) for either condition.

Welcome to the forum.

Re: [Solved] Font changes after reboot

I used "xdpyinfo | grep resol" to see that the DPI does indeed change, so I followed the Xorg wiki to set the DPI manually.

Solved.

Thanks
