[gentoo-user] Xorg font sizes and resolution

[Maik Musall]

Hello,

I'm trying and googling and manpaging since weeks without success.

I'm having trouble with a custom application that requests the font
"-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-128-100-100-p-*-io8859-1".

128 is not present in /usr/share/fonts/100dpi/fonts.dir. By tweaking
the DisplaySize parameter in xorg.conf, I can adjust the requested
value of 128 to something like 120 that is present, and then it works -
but then my resolution is not correctly set.

I didn't have these problems with SuSE 9.0 and XFree86. I suppose there
must be something where I can configure X to map odd size numbers to
those that are really present, but I could not find out where to make
this happen. The application mkfontscale is hard masked in gentoo.

I hope here's someone with some expertise on this stuff? Thanks for any
help you can offer.

Regards
