I have another installation of 11.3 on a computer with 1600x1050 20'' monitor, resolution: 99x98 dots per inch. When I compare with the 11.3 installation on the 19'' monitor they produce fonts of exactly the same size. Both 11.3 installations run on NVIDIA with proprietary drivers. Using your link on the 11.3 installation with 1600x1050 (where I'm sitting at right now) I get 98 DPI, default font size 18px. I notice that the 1 inch box is slightly smaller than 1 inch. I am using firefox 24. (In konq it's even smaller.) Can I force a different DPI by setting Xft.dpi in .xsession? Gianluca On Thu, 21 Nov 2013, Felix Miata wrote:

I was able to find some explanations here:
The Xft.dpi variable does not seem to be set in either installation. I
openSUSE does not normally set it. Some distros do (e.g. Fedora, Mageia), but some applications can cause it to become set, especially if native DPI is less than 96.
also tried `xdpyinfo | grep dots` and for the 11.3 installation I get:
resolution: 85x86 dots per inch
For 12.3 I get:
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch
Kcmshell xserver gives that info in a small window. The same info is shown in KInfoCenter.
The difference is probably because the monitors have different physical dimensions.
85/86 is 1280x1024 on 19" while 96 is 1280x1024 on 17":

However, the two different video drivers can behave differently as well.
What do SeaMonkey, Firefox and/or Konq have to say on
