# dpi problems
Admin @ 13 February 2007
Sometimes, in kde occurs such a problem. All fonts in menu, applications and so one becomes very small. It occured after my monitor downgrade (resolution changed from 1600×1280 to 1024×768). At first, I tried to increase font size in KDE control center:
( Start (K :) -> Preferences -> Control Center ->Appearence & Themes -> Fonts)
But it didn’t work with non-kde apps.
The sollution is to change dpi in kdm options. Edit /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc and change line ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp to
ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp -dpi 100HTH .
And restart your kdm (Ctrl+Alt+Backspace)
In my sample, there is 100dpi otion. If result doesn’t satisfy your needs, play a little with this number (75, 170 etc.)
