"point" is a unit of lengh, just like millimetres, if the default font size is 12 point for example, this will use more pixels on 127 dpi then an 96 dpi but if you measure the height of a glyph, it will be the same. Now when byte code hinting is used to get sharp vertical stems without grey, the stem width will jump from 1 pixel to 2 pixels at a certain size. You see in your screenshot at the left side in Firefox in the background the text of the opensuse.org website which has a stem width of 1 pixel because it is very small. In YaST and in the menubar of firefox there are bigger fonts which use 2 pixels for the stems. When byte code hinting is used, there is nothing in between, there can be no stem width of 1.5 pixels. With autohinting, the stems are always blurred by the antialiasing, therefore you don’t see such an obvious change at a certain size because the stems are *always* rather wide and blurry, even at small sizes, and the width changes continuously when the fonts get bigger. But the price you pay is the extreme blurriness. If you really want to ignore your dpi and have very small fonts in spite of your high resolution display, you can force your dpi a smaller value like Ben suggested in comment#4. One way to do that is adding the following rule to your ~/.fonts.conf file: <match target="pattern" > <edit mode="assign" name="dpi" > <double>96</double> </edit> </match> Or use the KDE control centre as Ben suggested. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Why can't calculate a simple program a perfect font-size depends on dpi, screen size and resolution and set this font-size in kde/kdm/yast/.. ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
