Hi all,
Just wondering how hard it would be for XWin to inherit the DPI of the
Windows install it's running on. I had no idea why my fonts were
incredibly tiny until by chance I ran xdpyinfo and saw the X server
was running at 75 dpi, while Windows runs at 96 dpi. The FAQ
<http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/cygwin-x-faq.html#q-display-depth-ignored>
states that XWin ignores the -dpi parameter, but this is assuredly not
true. I added -dpi 100 to my startxwin.bat and lo and behold my
freetype fonts are the size they should be.
Any chance the FAQ and the actual .exe can be made consistent?
