50% more. Which is more but the other 50% is wasted by the upscaling. You would need a physically larger display to offset that waste. > I'm currently using a 10 point font for general purpose on my laptop; > I set my display to lie and claim 72 dpi. 8 (in particular) and 9 > point fonts are harder to read not so much because they're smaller as > because the screen doesn't have enough pixels to render them as > cleanly as the 10 point font.

Try Cousine, currently my preferred monospaced font. -- Rich P. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
