[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#316535: Screen DPI

That would make the problem worse.  What I
actually want to do is get LyX to use my 20-pixel
font for its on-screen text.  This is because the
20-pixel font is the most readable for me.  The
pixel size is worked out by

screen DPI * zoom setting / 720

but only integer zoom settings are allowed, so
if the screen DPI is not a divisor of 720*20
then it's not possible to find a good zoom setting.
Therefore, it's best if we can control the
screen DPI from inside LyX, or else make it
possible to have non-integer zoom settings or
to choose pixel sizes directly.

Thanks.
