Summary: Wine is not reading the DPI setting from X - and is defaulting it to a dumb value Product: Wine Version: CVS Platform: Other OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-x11driver AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: wowbagger@sktc.net
It does not seem that the X11 driver is correctly setting the DPI of the display it is using, and defaults it to 72 DPI. This sucks mightily on my 1600x1200 19" monitor, as it makes all the scaled fonts too small to read.
If I manually create the HKLM/[System\CurrentControlSet\Hardware Profiles\Current\Software\Fonts\LoxPixels entry, and set it to 160, then most of the fonts (all save the menu bar fonts) are scaled a bit more reasonably.
