Could you please explain this sentence? What was broken and how did you
fix it? As I wrote, I don't care to much for the default backend, but
would like to make sure that xlib works, where it should work.
My XFree86 display on SuSE9.0 was set to 100DPI by default, for whatever
reason. This caused xlib to select fonts which were way too large for the
screen, whereas art doesn't have these issues.
I believe that the correction to the problem was to change the DPI setting of
the display back to 72DPI so that fonts of the correct size would be selected.
This was about 6-7 months ago. I haven't tried it since.
