How to increase DPI?

[Houmie]

Hi,

I have installed lubuntu 12.04 and everything is too small. How can I increase the DPI please for better readability?



Many Thanks,

You can do this from System Settings - Universal Access - Text Size

Well you can do this in Ubunto with Unity.

I can't find that in Lubuntu.

Literally Lubuntu is using LXDE and I can't see a way to set the operating system's text size of the menus etc (DPI) a bigger value.

In Ubuntu its easily done through Universal Access. I don't seem to find the same option in Lubuntu.

I just found this

Maybe the gnome-tweak-tool may help

Go to Preferences->Customize Look and Feel and then change your default font to whatever you want it to be.

If you have an Nvidia video card, you should have the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf. In the Device section of this file, you can add the two Option lines to suit your need:

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    Option       "UseEDIDDpi" "False" #override the auto dpi
    Option         "DPI" "95 x 96" #change this to your liking
EndSection

Hope this helps. I found the info after an extensive search.

First, go to Preferences/Customize Look & Feel (LXAppearance) and be sure the boxes labeled hinting and antialising are checked. Other font adjustments can be made there as well as in Preferences/Openbox Configuration.

I have the same problem. I know it was possible to change the DPI in 11.10.
Not sure why they changed this. I will come back hopefully with an answer.
I am just surprised that some people replied without understanding the question.
And none of the answers really provide a solution.
