Monitor Resolution (--dpi)

Objects with this attribute

Usage

Object Manager Monitor Resolution In the box, type a resolution in dots per inch.
Command line --dpi dpi Replace dpi with a resolution in dots per inch.

Description

This attribute specifies the monitor resolution (in dots per inch) that Tarantella reports to X applications asking for this information. Some X applications need this value to determine what font size to use.

If you leave this attribute blank, the value specified in the X Protocol Engine's Monitor Resolution attribute is reported.

The default resolution may cause the X application to choose a font size larger than it would normally choose. This can cause clipping problems as the X application may need more screen space than it otherwise would. If this happens, try reducing the resolution by typing a smaller value, for example 75.

The X application may also use too large a font if the X Protocol Engine's Font Path attribute uses a different order than the console or X terminal.

Examples

--dpi 75

Reports a resolution of 75dpi to X applications that need this information.
