Well xdpyinfo says it's configured for 75dpi. I wonder where this
is actually being set, I'll have to look into that.
You just told me it's diagonal physical dimensions... I assume from
your resolution that it is 4 x 3 which means it is 15.2" x 11.4" at
1280 x 1024, that's 84dpi.
What happens if you do the following first:
echo "Xft.dpi: 84.000000" | xrdb
By "first", you mean before what? If I run this as shown, I get "/usr/
bin/cpp not found", because I haven't gotten around to installing
Xcode, and that won't happen till Monday because I'm logging in from
home via VNC at the moment. If I do this:
% echo "Xft.dpi: 84.000000" | xrdb -nocpp -
nothing changes in the output of xdpyinfo. The setting, however, is
definitely known to xrdb; xrdb -query now prints out what I echoed
into it. If I then log into the remote machine and display an emacs,
I see the huge fonts, just like before. So that doesn't seem to have
changed anything.
Cheers,
