1024x768 resolution in windows question

What "display" font size do you set your computer at for 1024x768? I find small fonts / 96dpi too small Do most people use the large font size / 120dpi? Custom font size possibly? Curious.... TIA! Skotty Flynn http://www.nascar-racing-sims.com "skotty" on WON

Got a 17" ViewSonic here running 1024x768. And yes, I use the standard small fonts in W98SE.

"small" 75 dpi fonts. Talk about small sometimes! Ack! Especially in Netscape with the well-known font uglification problem. For Windows, you might try increasing just the element you are interested in within the display properties appearance settings. Some programs allow for their own display font sizes as well. I have also heard that running a larger font can***up the display in some programs, but I have never tried it. I use 1024x768 on this 21" monitor because 1280x1024 looks too small to me in Windows. ~daxe ~daxe -----------== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News ==---------- http://www.newsfeeds.com The Largest Usenet Servers in the World! ------== Over 73,000 Newsgroups - Including Dedicated Binaries Servers ==-----

Yes!! The fonts in Linux Netscape do take some getting used to! I went thru all the fonts in the preferences menu & basically had to choose the lesser of 2 evils. I can certainly identify. -- Chuck Kandler #70 ChuckK or KS70 on Won.net K&S Racing http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/thepits/195 The box said "Windows 95 or better", so I installed LINUX!

You could build in support for TrueType fonts in Linux. Your best resources for getting this support are: http://www-scf.usc.edu/~vibber/linux/TrueType-HOWTO.html http://www.frii.com/~meldroc/Font-Deuglification.html so: create dir /usr/share/fonts/ttf copy ttf fonts to use to /usr/share/fonts/ttf/ then $cd /usr/share/fonts/ttf $/usr/sbin/ttmkfdir -o fonts.dir $/usr/sbin/chkfontpath --add /usr/share/fonts/ttf $/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart > > "small" 75 dpi fonts.
