When you run an X server on Windows, the X server settings on the Linux machine have nothing to do with what you see. You do not even have to have an X server running on the Linux machine. Also, with most installs, the fonts the X server on the Windows machine uses are on the Windows machine. You can reconfigure things to use the font server on the Linux machine, but you have to change the xfs settings on the Linux machine, and the X config on the Windows machine. You also have to make sure the firewalls are set up correctly... You may be able to tweak the server settings on the Windows machine to display the fonts larger. Try setting the size of the desktop you are using to a smaller one. You can also try making the window with the X server full screen. If you are running your entire Gnome desktop, and not just some of the programs, you are trying to fit your entire desktop on the Linux machine into the X server window. So everything is made smaller to fit. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
