Did I do something wrong at compilation of Emacs? Does something
missing from my Ubuntu? What to check?
In KDE and GNOME there are rule settings about appropriate font
sizes. An optimised bitmapped font for 100 DPI is larger than the
same font for 75 DPI. When the X11 font path has the 100 DPI font
before the 75 DPI fonts than these larger fonts are used. GNU Emacs
23.0.60 uses libXft. When a 100 DPI display is assumed by Xft then
quite large 75 DPI fonts might be used ...
You could add to your X defaults a setting like this:
Xft.dpi: 96
or a value closer to your display's resolution. It might also help to
run your X server with your display's resolution. Some X servers
evaluate the contents of a ~/.xserverrc file.
