183100 - Use both 96 & 120 dpi version bitmap fonts

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Text and Fonts, defect)

Description

[jhp (no longer active)]

Bitmap fonts on OS/2 come in two flavors: 96dpi and 120dpi.  Currently, we only
use bitmap fonts that were made for the given dpi.  However, if we use both
flavors, then we can have a finer granularity of sizes to display.  In other
words, there are more sizes to choose from if we use both 96 & 120 dpi fonts.

Implement using both DPI versions of bitmap fonts.  Also, change over some of
the PL_* functions.

Ignore whitespace patch. Should be easier to understand.

Is this fix responsible for shrunken WarpSans in certain places? Tabs, PTB &
URLbar remain as before, but status bar and Mailnews text button text have
shrunk as if WarpSans in 96 DPI is being applied when elsewhere is 120 DPI as
set in prefs. Can this tiny stuff be undone via prefs or CSS? How can people
using higher resolutions see this tiny text?

Does your video card allow you to modify your DPI? If so, what do you have it
set to?

what do you have your DPI set to in Mozilla?

Are you using a different theme than the default?

In CONFIG.SYS:
rem SET SDDFONTSIZE=small
rem SET SDDFONTDPI=96
SET SDDICONS=small

Mozilla is set to 120 DPI Modern
