"Default resolution too low? Fonts too small?

Do your fonts come out too small in programs like Gimp? This and  
related problems are especially noticeable on the MacBook Pro with  
high-definition screen. The problem is that older versions of X11 use  
a resolution setting of 75dpi (dots per inch), and even newer ones use  
96dpi by default. Since X11 2.3.2rc4, you can override this default  
and put in a value that suits your display. For example, for the  
MacBook Pro, the appropriate value is 133dpi. To do this, enter the  
following in the Terminal, and restart X11:

	defaults write org.x.X11 dpi -int 133

You should replace 133 by some other number appropriate to your  
display if it is not 133dpi. How do you tell what the appropriate dpi  
setting is? One way (there may be simpler ones!) is to fire up Acrobat  
or Acrobat Reader, and look at Preferences -> Page Display, which will  
tell you what the System Setting for your resolution is in dpi."
