</span>So there isn't any programmatic way to either:<br>
<br>
- get fontconfig to query X for the DPI and honor the Xft.dpi resource, or<br>
<br>
- configure fontconfig statically to use a specific DPI per screen?<br>
<br>
If so, I'll go back to Savannah and open a feature request or something.<br><div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"></div></div></blockquote><br></div><div class="gmail_quote">Fontconfig doesn't know or care about X or screens.
