PostPosted: Mon Nov 19, 2007 5:30 pm    Post subject: xorg fonts too big Reply with quote

I have a triple monitor setup, which was directly configured using nvidia-settings, but the fonts are way too big. I've got all the paths to the fonts, and everything, but I can't figure out why the fonts are huge... I also followed the instructions at gentoo-wiki.com about Fonts...

here's my xorg.conf
Code:
# nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings

Yup, sounds to me like you need to have a look at your font settings, DPI in particular.

Hi chickeneater,
i had the same issue with dual-monitor setup. This solved it for me.
Code:
Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Normal-Device"
        Driver      "nvidia"
        ...
        Option      "DPI" "96x96"
EndSection
