One example is 12pt text @ 96 DPI is 16 pixels, which becomes 20 pixels instead @ 120 DP
Seems Counter intuitive.
See if http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/area80.html is any help. Remember, higher density (higher DPI) means more stuff crammed into the same space, or the same amount of stuff crammed into a smaller space. Assuming the display device's dot pitch isn't too big, higher also means higher drawing accuracy, and thus higher quality, which with text means smaller jaggies, if any, and less or no need for font smoothing.
That much makes sense. But why then, would 12 point text at 16 pixels balloon to 20 pixels? That doesn't square with "more stuff crammed into the same space or the same amount of stuff crammed into smaller space". -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
