unicode on the website

Submitted by Sarreq Teryx on August 24, 2008 to Website suggestion

Submitted by Sarreq Teryx on June 9, 2008 to Annoyance, Bug, Usability

When using the Custom DPI dialog, 100percent is the minimum setting. in win 95 through XP, it could go below 100percent/96dpi. I can't see any GOOD or SANE reason this was removed. on my 19" 1280x1024 monitor, at 100percent/96dpi, 1 inch (more...)
