[ltp] QUICK TIPS: Netscape and X font sizes (General and 770X 1280x1024)

[Bill Mair]

1) Set the display size in your XF86Config-4 using the option:

    DisplaySize 269 216

.. this is in millimeters and should be placed in >Section "Monitor"<

this allows X to determine the correct screen resolution.

2) Netscape:

in .Xresources or /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources:
add the following lines:

Nescape*documentFonts.xResolution*iso-8859-1: 110
Nescape*documentFonts.yResolution*iso-8859-1: 110

to let netscape know your screen resoultion. It doesn't query the
XServer. :-(
This works wonders for the font display sizes when browsing, seeing as
netscape
thinks that this display is 75 dpi (dots per inch).
