Sorry... I wasn't sure whether it was emacs or X.
I reply via nabble: hope it will follow the reply-to.

Sounds simple and clear, but I do it, and get the same result...?

2009> ll ~/.Xdefaults
-rw-r--r-- 1 emagiro EEI-ATusers 12 2010-04-29 19:18
/home/emagiro/.Xdefaults
2009> cat ~/.Xdefaults
Xft.dpi: 75

I tried a smaller value (50), but no effect.
And now I start getting errors:

File error: Doing vfork, resource temporarily unavailable

while retrying... Not every time.
