Solution to this misbehaviour was, is and will be * Edit /etc/xorg.conf * Take a ruler and add to 'Section "Monitor" DisplaySize x-in-mm y-in-mm * If you don't like the size of the font, open the control center and change the size of the font. Now the size (take a ruler again) of the fonts will be the same on all Monitors were you set the right DisplaySize. |

Hardcoding a fixed DPI
<rant> Until I find the time to write more about DPI and fonts sizes. Look at this:
Monitor here range from 75 dpi to 144 dpi. That's ~ factor of two. With ""identical fonts size"" setting, the size of the same 'H' displayed on screen will be:
|_| | | <-- 144 dpi monitor | | |__| | | <-- 75 dpi monitor | |
A sensible new default, isn't it. </rant>
Solution to this misbehaviour was, is and will be
- Edit /etc/xorg.conf
- Take a ruler and add to 'Section "Monitor"
DisplaySize x-in-mm y-in-mm
- If you don't like the size of the font, open the control center and change the size of the font.
Now the size (take a ruler again) of the fonts will be the same on all Monitors were you set the right DisplaySize.
