[ltp] X Fonts at different resolutions having problems

[Bob Alexander]

Dear Friends,
my T40 has a nice 1400x1050 screen and the fonts are looking very very 
good under GNOME.

Unfortunately when I have to project something I have to lower the 
resolution to 1024x768 or 1280x1024 depending on the projector's 
capabilities.

Under these resolutions the fonts look blurred on my TP screen.

Any ideas ?

Follows background data.

Happy XMas to all of you and may you all have a great 2005 !

Bob
