Get dpi value from resource manager, falling back to 96.0 dpi. (9.39 KB, patch)

Description Ray Strode [halfline] 2005-04-24 20:09:57 UTC 
The X server physical screen geometry values are often incorrect and so can't be
depended on.  GDM currently uses those values to determine how large to render
text.  This means on some systems the text shows up way too big or way too small.
