fennec fonts too small

[Lukas-David Gorris <lukas@htc-linux.org>]

Hi,

It tried out fennec on htcleo machine (4,2" wvga, 217 ppi specified) and
noticed the fonts are itsy. Maybe it would be good to install a modified
configuration in order to make it more usable. It's possible to set font
minima via about:config .

Should a configuration be added?

If so, how?

There is MACHINE_DISPLAY_{WIDTH,HEIGHT}_PIXELS. E.g. from
conf/machine/htcleo.conf :
MACHINE_DISPLAY_WIDTH_PIXELS = "480"
MACHINE_DISPLAY_HEIGHT_PIXELS = "800"

But it doesn't include screen size.. (dpi).

There's also smallscreen GUI_MACHINE_CLASS = "smallscreen"

Maybe we could make the fennec recipe read such parameters and write a
fitting configuration file into the package if a suitable is present.


Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.12.0"
METADATA_BRANCH   = "master"
METADATA_REVISION = "c3265b1"
TARGET_ARCH       = "arm"
TARGET_OS         = "linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "htcleo"
DISTRO            = "shr"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "-20110406"
TARGET_FPU        = "hard"


Best,
Lukas
