I am trying mint for the first time,so far so good,looks nice.
I have the nvidia drivers installed via Envy,it set the screen up nicely at 1680 x 1050. However something has happened to the fonts appearance.
Looking at xorg.conf I notice there is no entry regarding fonts,in fact it seems to be a very minimal xorg.conf in general,although it has included code for a wacom tablet that I do not possess?

Re: xorg.conf and fonts
This is a standard xorg.conf
I don't think Debian/Ubuntu(/Mint) has included fonts in xorg.conf (at least lately)
Right now I'm in gnome so I don't find the correct "path" but in Appearances there should be a Fonts tab with some settings
I'll try to remember this topic when I log in to KDE next time

Re: xorg.conf and fonts
Sorted! After a bit of digging around, I have added the following to xorg.conf
And
All signs of 'Dottiness' have now gone,fonts nice and smooth.
I should point out that the 'DisplaySize' bit was the clincher,whether or not it would work without the font file pointers I have not tried.
