Hi all,
sorry for what might be a noob question. Only recently I discovered
the wonders of changing the DPI (I have poor eyesight for my high
resolution monitor).
I tried to change the DPI setting to something more acceptable (100 is
the ideal), but I cannot seem to be able to do it on ~/.fonts.conf. I
have there the correct setting:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
<match target="font" >
<edit mode="assign" name="dpi" >
<double>100</double>
</edit>
</match>
</fontconfig>
However no application seems to take it seriously. But if I edit
~/.Xresources and add:
Xft.dpi: 100
the 100 DPI setting is enforced. Am I doing something wrong in
.fonts.conf or is this normal?
Regards,
Pedro
