[Bug 40683] Re: Fonts extremely small post 21APR06 updates

Ok, I think I got it. displayconfig-restore fails because of a missing import. Add "import syslog" and restart X -> Fonts are nice again.

The small fonts are due to a wrong DPI-Value in X. Xorg can't read the display size on my laptop and sets DPI to 75, but it should be 96. That's also the reason why not everyone encountered this problem, most displays return a proper DPI-Value.

As for the people using Gnome: I don't think this bug is affecting you. There are some similar bugs for fontconfig or firefox opened, please have a look at them.
