Title:
DPI is not recognized by UBUNTU, so fonts, icons and the whole system
is too small
Status in “gtk+2.0” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hi,
I'm using a 147x145 DPI screen. The fonts, icons and all the whole
system seem too tinny.
If I change the
System>Preferences>Appearance>Fonts>Details...>Resolution from 96 to
145, the fonts of the desktop get better, but the icons still too
tinny, and the fonts in any other applications is still tinny.
I know that i can change the resolution of the screen to a smaller one
(actual is 1920x1200) but i don't want to do that because it downgrade
the quality of the display.
in Firefox, i can use Ctrl + to increase the fonts size, but this
leads sometime to bigger fonts in small frames so sometimes i can't
see all the fonts in a frame, or the frames can interfere with each
others, and the enlarged photos are really bad quality.
My question is :
Is there a real way to make all the fonts, icons, photos and the whole
system in all the applications to appear in a normal size instead of
this tinny size that i get only because i have a 1920x1200 on a 15"
screen ?
in termianl :
~:/var/log$ grep DPI Xorg.0.log
(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (147, 145); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X
config
~$ xdpyinfo | grep reso
resolution: 147x145 dots per inch
And this is the right DPI of my screen 1920x1200 pixels (332x210
millimeters), but i don't know why the operating system is not
applying these DPI?
My config :
Clevo M860TU with Quadro FX 2700M
UBUNTU 9.10 ( but this problem was also in earlier releases )
Driver : NVIDIA 185 ( but i tried also 173 )
Thanks
