Created attachment 850840 [details] Screen shot of my monitor on a Samsumg 32" TV Description of problem: I've recently installed Fedora 20 on a machine + monitor that previously had Fedora 19. The fonts and cursor size in gnome-shell and applications launched from gnome-shell are too large. Significantly too large. When I login using a different window manager the fonts and cursor are the appropriate sizes. I am using a 32" Samsung TV as my only monitor. When I go to Settings->Displays my monitor is listed as Size: 7"; Aspect Ratio: 16:9; Resolution: 1920x1080. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): [root@Asgard ~]# gnome-shell --version GNOME Shell 3.10.2.1 How reproducible: When the machine reboots and is waiting for a login the fonts are too large. When I login into gnome-shell the fonts are too large. If I log into other window managers the fonts are fine. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Restart machine 2. Login to gnome-shell Actual results: Large font and cursor sizes Expected results: Regular font and cursor sizes Additional info: xdpyinfo | grep -B1 dot dimensions: 1920x1080 pixels (508x286 millimeters) resolution: 96x96 dots per inch [root@Asgard ~]# cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 60 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU @ 3.40GHz

THe problemm, as you've probably figured out, is the fact that your monitor is reported as being 7" at 1920x1080 - if you did have a full-hd tablet computer of that size, you *would* want larger fonts and cursors. Since such computers exist, we can't simply exclude your result and figure out it is a hardware-bug automatically. /var/log/Xorg.0.log will have the "EDID" block of information that your monitor reports. If you feed the hex-encoded value into the edid-decode program, you can see what is reported for size. If that is something other than 7" (or the metric equivalent) then there's a bug in the X stack somewhere we can fix - but I'm not expecting that to be the case - it's probably just a bug in your monitor's firmware. You can work around by, from the command line, typing: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 1 (The default value '0' means auto-detect)

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
