Font size for Linux probably incorrect

[navid-zamani]

Hey, is there a reason it's different between different OSes?
Or a properly configured system, 72pt is 1 inch, no matter what, right?
So for there even be any differences, the OSes must be misconfigured.

On my Linux system, the xrandr knows the precise screen dimensions and hence DPI. So it knows exactly how many pixels there are in one inch. This is normal for graphical virtual terminals on all Linux systems for at least 15 years. For textual virtual terminals, outside of X, only raster fonts are accepted anyway AFAIK, so this font won’t work.

So the suggested font size should be whatever is the native size of the font, that it was designed for. In pt or px, depending on what it was designed for. And please do not assume any weird DPI or UI scaling or whatever. (Maybe tell people that such things can mess it up.)

Hence… Can I ask for that proper, native font size, with no presumptions?

Thank you, for the effort and attention to detail! :)

Oh, and the source states “Use size 20 on Mac/Linux, size 15 in Windows.”, which is more in line with which OSes typically have the correct DPI set, and different from what your README states anyway. So… did you change things?
