dpyinfo

If I run dpyinfo on my TiBook, it tells me that my screen is 75dpi. If I measure my screen and calculate by hand, I discover it is 102dpi.

This is probably why when I ask my xterm to use monaco at 10 points, it looks terrible (and compares poorly to Mail.app which is displaying my email in 10pt Monaco.

a) Can anyone tell me how I can tell X11.app that my screen is 102 dpi?
b) I know there is a Tech Note on how to ask the OS what your screen dpi is. Will X11.app use that some day?
c) I bet this question has been asked and answered here before, but x11-users does not have a searchable archive. Will it some day?
