Dear Roman, Claude, List,
today i had the opportunity to test both of your recommendations regarding different font sizes on identical machines.
Claude's hint was very nice, to query the DPI setting via:
grep DPI /var/log/Xorg.o.log
the nvidia README in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/ gave an additional hint:
xdpyinfo | grep dimension
Roman was right too, specifying the DPI value at X startup. You can even put this inside your xorg.conf as:
Option "DPI" "85 x 86"
thanks for the help!
regards, Peter

if the same os is some linux flavour, it is probably because of different display settings that result in different font scalings. i noticed, that on computers with smaller resolution sometimes tinier fonts are used. unfortunately, i don't know what the correct solution for this problem is, if there is anything that could be considered *correct*. however, i sometimes was able to solve it by giving the option '-dpi 80' when doing 'startx'. alternativel it might also help to specify 'DisplaySize X Y' in 'Section "Monitor"' in your xorg.conf. Making the Display bigger than it actually is scales down fonts and vice versa.

Hi!
What reason can there be if the same patch does not display the same fontsizes on two different computers, both running the same OS and the same Pd version?
