Firefox + Windows + DPI
I stumbled across a post regarding how to configure Firefox’s font scaling when you’ve used the Windows DPI scaling.
Take the Windows DPI setting, for instance 120DPI, and divide it by 96 (120/96=1.25). Next, set the about:config option layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to this value.
Windows 7 Beta & Pen Input
Testing out how Windows 7 Beta handles my wife’s Wacom tablet. I’ve found the Pent Flicks to be very useful. When they work that is. Internet Explorer 8 is a bit flakey with pen input. Mozilla Firefox completely ignores the pen and I have to use the global pen input panel.
BTW, I used the Vista drivers from Wacom’s website and they installed just fine.
