One of the things that i did not like that much of my linux installation are fonts.

Here it is a quick way to get improve it,

gus@jackdaniels:~$ xdpyinfo | grep dimensions
dimensions: 1280×1024 pixels (342×271 millimeters)
gus@jackdaniels:~$

gus@jackdaniels:~$ xdpyinfo | grep resolution
resolution: 95×96 dots per inch
gus@jackdaniels:~$

Now as i would like 96 DPI fonts, we need to adjust the display size, the equation would be something like this,

1280*25.425/96=338

1024*25.425/96=270

So go and add this line to the Monitor Section on /etc/X11/xorg.conf,

DisplaySize 339 271

Restart Xorg with ctrl+alt+backspace

Now you need to be sure that your Desktop Environment is using the correct DPI, in Gnome go to,
System->Preferences->Fonts

My Tahoma fonts looks nice nicer now, next thing to find: why icons are so big or so small ?
