Hello together,

I find all fonts (in any application) way to small.

xdpyinfo | grep resolution
gives me:
resolution: 96x96 dots per inch

Which seems reasonable on a 17´ Monitor with 1600x1200 pixels.

Can I somehow increase X font size in general?

Thanks!
Nathan

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. That helps in most applications (those using gtk).
But not for other applications, like aterm and also not for websites, displayed by firefox.

I can set it for those applications by hand too.

But if there is a general solution I would be interested :)
