[LUG] Font size changes with multiple monitors

 

Morning all.

Does anybody know why the font size decreases (in every X program) with most multiple monitor configurations?

My PC runs a 1680x1050 (DVI). When I added a second 1680x1050 screen to this the fonts did not change at all. I've just switched the extra monitor for a 1280x1024 and everything is small again.

This also happened before, when I added a second screen to my laptop (both at 1024x768).

Why does this happen? Can I fix it? I know I could turn the font size up in everything, but then it'll all be far too big if I go back to single screen, and I'm not sure that'll work so well anyway.

I'm suspecting something dumb to do with DPI settings.

Any ideas?
Thanks.
Simon
