My display has 90dpi but I set Xft resolution to 80 because the default size for 90dpi is too big [1] # xrdb -query | grep -i xft Xft.antialias: 1 Xft.dpi: 80,000000 Xft.hinting: 1 Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium Xft.rgba: rgb > I never found out where this garbage dpi value came from. There are different ways to set the X server dpi setting, see the FAQ in the xfree86-common package or so. [1] Windows' fonts are not larger then the current @80dpi and nobody complains there... why does fontconfig prefer larger font settings?! I can send a screenshot if needed.
