Very Computer

Hi!

I think this must be a common problem but I can't find a good answer.

I have a 1024x768 resolution with a 14" monitor which gives me about
100dpi. With this configuration several pages are unreadable with
NS 4.04 (specially those with stylesheets were the font sizes are
defined).

Is there a way to revert this situation? I changed the default fonts
from the 75dpi set to the 100dpi but that doesn't solve everything.

Also, the xdpyinfo says I have a 75dpi monitor. Can I change that?
Will it change anything?

Thank you.

Yes, you can. Read man Xserver or man XFree86. You can specify
-dpi 100 in X server command line
(.xserverrc if you use startx or /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup_0 if you use
  xdm). I don't know if it helps with Netscape, but I did so to make
my Tk scripts display GIS maps in correct scale and it helps.

Ummm, have you tried going to Netscape preferences and changing the
font size? Worked for me.
