Hi all,

I like to set the font sizes on my displays to extra-large, so I canread them easily. On W2K, I set the font size to 150% - but this garblesmany applications (text gets clipped, etc). I've never had a similarproblem on Fedora.

Is there a particular reason why large font handling seems to be betterin linux?


Just curious...
