    Sorry if this is a very "newbie" question!

    I am trying, yet again, to get the fonts in SUSE9.3 looking decent on
    my 15" 1024x768 TFT monitor. They are thick and "blocky".

    I have tried the monitor driver which was selected on installation,
    the generic LCD driver and the generic VESA driver. Also hinting, and
    everything else I can think of.

    On another list, I have read that running fonts with a dpi of 96 could
    improve things. But I don't know how to change the dpi in SUSE.

    I can't find anything in the manuals, or in the list archives.

    Has anyone changed their font dpi, please? If so, how do you do it?

    Many thanks for any advice

    Keith
