Adjusting character font size using GT520

Asked by TerryDex on 2012-07-31

The default font size is too small (~6/8 pt). The only options from Dispay distort characters.

How to adjust font size using a GT520 video card?

You can run:

sudo nvidia-xconfig; gksudo nvidia-settings

Set the res to something, including the refresh and click 'Save to X config fle'. Then run:

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

In the monitor 0 section, add the line:

    Option "DPI" "96 x 96"

Save the new file and close gedit then reboot to test
