default TrueType font resolution on UNIX


From: eanweb
Subject: default TrueType font resolution on UNIX
Date: Thu, 14 Sep 2000 10:04:50 -0700 (PDT)

Hello
I noticed that when i use TrueType on my UNIX AIX box,
fonts appear to be smaller than supposed to.
verdana.ttf font size is specified in PerlMagick's
Annotate as 9 appears to be more like 6. 

According to info below that i found on the net, i
need to increase default resolution to fix this
problem. But i don't run X server so is there a config
file on AIX to be modified? 
Thanks a lot

3.2.1.2. Adjusting the default font size
If your TrueType fonts appear to be very tiny,
thefollowing commands may help.

Add the -dpi switch to your X server command line
(seesection 3 to do this.)

Use the --res switch to tell xfstt to increase the
default resolution. Use the following command line.# 

xfstt --res 120
