I do not set DisplaySize in the Xorg configuration file,
and from /var/log/Xorg.0.log I have

(II) NVIDIA(0): Virtual screen size determined to be 1400 x 1050
(--) NVIDIA(0): Display dimensions: (320, 240) mm
(--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (111, 111)

which is correct for my monitor. Therefore the DPI from
the screen seems to be ok. Nontheless the test programs
from gtk+extra has a text size very very small and
unreadable size.

Also setting the DPI in the X resource file does not
change this situation. I have tried setting it with

Xft.dpi:		100

in my ~/.Xresources file. Other applications, such as
the gnome-panel, see this setting and changes the
font size accordingly, but the gtk+extra test
programs still draw their text in the same very
small and unreadable font size.

Regarding the first option (Xft/DPI XSETTING), I do
not know how to set it, so that it can be tried. Maybe
someone can help me with it.

I still does not understand why those test programs
from gtk+extra do use such a very small font size.
What else can I do to get it right?
