Very Computer

I installed Redhat Linux 7.0 on my machine and updated XFree86 to
version 4.1.0. But I have to startx like this to load the 100 dpi font I
installed:
      startx -- -dpi 100
Is there a configuration file for you to edit and set 100 dpi font as
the default?

Thank you.

Don't know if this holds true with redhat; but in Debian unstable with
X4.0.3 installed, you can find a script which tells X what dpi to run at
boot.  Its at /etc/X11/xinit/xserverrc.  Mine has one line in it worth
mentioning:

merwyn /etc/X11/xinit: more xserverrc
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/bin/X11/X -dpi 100 -nolisten tcp

Edit the /etc/X11/fs/config file. Look for the following lines at the
start of the file:

catalogue = /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc:unscaled,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/100dpi:unscaled,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi:unscaled,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo,
        /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi,
        /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1,
        /usr/share/AbiSuite/fonts,
        /usr/share/fonts/ja/TrueType

Make sure the 100dpi line comes before the 75dpi line as in the above.
Then restart X.

I reordered the two items, and even tried to put the 100dpi fonts to the
beginning of that block. But it is no difference when you start X server.
The resolution is set to 84*89dpi(?) automatically. As I remember, X server
will try to find the first scalable font in the list. By the way, the
reason for me to set the font to 100dpi font is that it shows some of the
character sets well, which are hard to recognize with the default font. Any
further sugestion?

Thank you
