What's the output of "xdpyinfo | grep resolution"? On my system, it's about 96dpi as well. $ xdpyinfo | grep resolution resolution: 99x98 dots per inch (In reply to comment #1) > What's the output of "xdpyinfo | grep resolution"? $ xdpyinfo |grep resolu resolution: 126x126 dots per inch (Yes, when I follow the rule "do not set the resolution too high", then everything just works. I learned the rule in the dark days when I was forced to use other OSes. But my office mate, mcepl, has told me that this superstition is not needed any more, and I could allow Fedora to default to the maximal resolution.) Check the full output of xdpyinfo, it's most likely that your monitor indeed has a very high dpi, or the monitor is reporting wrong physical dimensions. Resassigning to X.org. mcepl should know what you need to gather now :) xdpyinfo has it right, the resolution is really 126 dpi. (I have a 17" monitor which is capable of 1600x1200.) But Gnome defaults to the value of 96 dpi, which means that the desktop uses unreadable tiny fonts. Re-assigning back. Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks.
