Description Marcus Moeller 2007-04-18 18:31:59 CEST
Within /etc/xdg/xfce/xinitrc the Xft fallback option:

Xft.dpi: 96
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.hintstyle: hintmedium

has been removed, which leads to much smaller fonts if e.g. default dpi settings 75x75 are used.

Best Regards
Marcus
Comment 1 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2007-04-18 19:15:58 CEST
Yes, that was removed on purpose. DPI should be set by Xorg based on the resolution and actual screen size.
Comment 2 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2007-04-20 21:20:06 CEST
Seems that several open source drivers (ati, nv, etc. ) are not able to read DCC and compute screen size.

Some distribution force the DPI to work arround this problem while others don't.

Therefore, I'll put back the default DPI as before.
Comment 3 Olivier Fourdan editbugs 2007-04-20 21:21:46 CEST
Revision 25618 reintroduce the default Xft value.
Comment 4 Yves-Alexis Perez editbugs 2007-11-18 16:21:38 CET
Shipping this file by default override user choice (cf #3164) even if he has perfectly working Xorg. I don't think it's a good idea to ship it as user can manually set the DPI in a graphical way.

Crap, I thought this had been reverted on 4.4 branch as well as trunk.  I'll build a new package; sigh.
