I've had the same problem on a high resolution (1920x1080), small size screen |
| 23 |
(15.6"). The characters are tiny and anything else but native resolution |
| 24 |
makes images and characters blurred. The solution was to increase the font |
| 25 |
size on the terminals and KDE apps. However, I don't know how to make the |
| 26 |
characters in the Firefox menus and body larger. Am I supposed to run |
| 27 |
gconftool-2 with some esoteric options? |
