           Summary: initial window size and font bad for high DPI

           Version: 2.4.2
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs

            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist

2048x1536 144 DPI screenshot of 4.4.2 on openSUSE 11.3 Factory

Note that if this screenshot is viewed at a DPI significantly different from
144 that object sizes will be misleading. If not viewed at close to 144 DPI,
making the 1 inch object 1 inch wide and the 5 inch wide object 5 inches wide,
one must remember only proportions hold true, and not actual object sizes. For
example, displayed at an actual 144 DPI, the panel is less than 5mm tall. If
viewed at 96 DPI, it will measure 50% taller than it did when the screenshot
was made.

1-Base font in Konsole is tiny, smaller than too small default 9pt menu text
size, and considerably smaller than the 10pt size defaulted in openSUSE until
only very recently.

2-Konsole window is only about 80 characters wide. At least 100, or better
more, by default, would help compensate for so much modern terminal output that
commonly cannot fit into 80 chars, such as /dev/disk* partition names & grub
kernel lines.
