---------------
Correct. My gnome and X are talking 96 dpi.

I think it's 1400x1050 tiny font appearance (skinny and faint) that's
causing my eyes pain. Also I was hoping to achieve windows like font
appearance that I'm not getting even after upgrading to freetype-2.1.10.
Hence I'm now looking at downgrading my laptop resolution to 1024x768
(max) resolution. Maybe getting another thinkpad model.

See my earlier post regarding screenshots.

Maybe I'm being too picky, then again I spend a min of 12 hrs on my
machine :-)
