12 My classes have a optical power of about 4-dioptre and I need a special
13 class for screen reading. I'm using XFCE as WM and these are my
14 settings:
15
16 General: Terminus 14
17 XFCE panel: Bitstream Vera Sans 11
18 Text Editor: Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 14
19 E-Mail (Claws): Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 17
20 Bitstream Vera Sans Mono 11
21 Terminus Bold 13
22 Hinting: Full
23 Antialiasing: Yes
24 My monitor: 1920x1200 83dpi 27" LCD Wide Gamut
25
26 For me it is also important, that the screen background is not too
27 bright and that the contrast of the text is high. So I modified a XFCE
28 theme for my requirements (see attached file).
