Yeah, I've heard the DPI is the whole problem. Unless each
icon/font is vector or has several bitmaps at various scales, it
will look weird from bad scaling. That is why in Debian for
example, there are the packages xfonts-100dpi and xfonts-75dpi
(but I don't know if those are both too small for some people on
the supposedly 2560×1600 display the 13" mbp has, in which case
they may be SOL). I have a 1920x1200 15" screen in an hp laptop I
like alot, but the text is indeed pretty small in regular Debian.
I can't remember if it uses 75 or 100 dpi.</brian>@brie.com="mailto:brian@brie.com"></blockquote>Yeah, the icons would need to be redone, although you would think it would be simple to just package the vector versions, and generate the proper size raster image either on the fly or whenever the monitor DPI changes. TTF/PS/OTF fonts should be ok, since they are vector formats, but the raster fonts (which afaik are the only ones with 75/100 dpi variants) would look scaled unless there was a HiDPI version. <div><blockquote class="gmail_quote"><brian></brian>@brie.com="mailto:brian@brie.com"></blockquote><blockquote class="gmail_quote"><brian></brian>@brie.com="mailto:brian@brie.com"></blockquote></div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><p>On Thu, Feb 28, 2013 at 12:05 AM, Nick Schmalenberger <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:nick@schmalenberger.us" target="_blank">nick@schmalenberger.us</a>></span> wrote:<br></p><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><p>On Wed, Feb 27, 2013 at 11:13:53PM -0800, Daniel Nelson wrote:
