9 And does this work for you? Or do you still have issues with fonts?

11 FYI, one "reason" you might have to do this is because you have a high
12 resolution display, and if X can read the actual dimensions of your
13 display, it will calculate the horizontal and vertical DPI. I'm not
14 sure what combinations of kernel and X.org configuration options are
15 required for this though. You can also get the same effect from setting
16 "DisplaySize" in xorg.conf.

18 In any case, you can check the DPI that X is using, and how it arrived
19 at that value, by checking /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
