[Bug 324518] [NEW] Overly large fonts

[Max Bowsher]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

After today's libgnome update to stop pinning to 96 dpi, fonts became
excessively large. System is an Acer Aspire One running current Jaunty.

However, xdpyinfo reports correct information:
  dimensions:    1024x600 pixels (195x113 millimeters)
  resolution:    133x135 dots per inch

Given the correct information above, I'm not sure this necessarily is a
bug in the driver or not, but it is certainly true that the default
sizing of the fonts according to the detected DPI is much less of a
useful default than the size based on the fixed 96 DPI that GNOME used
before, so it's certainly a user-experience regression whatever the
ultimate cause.
