That is not a bug but intended behavior (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23705) although I personally find it highly questionable. The solution is to either configure Xorg by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-monitor.conf and adding a "DisplaySize" setting with the dimendions of the monitor which makes the X server calculate the actual DPI of your hardware or to force the correct DPI in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf through the "xft-dpi" setting. The latter will only affect the greeter while the former should have a system-wide effect on font rendering. -- 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.
