Ubuntu 9.04 & Firefox & Strange fonts

Ubuntu started using different DPI, depending on the monitor. Up to the jaunty jackalope it used default 96 dpi because some monitors did not report the true size of the monitor thus the wrong dpi.
I think it is a good improvement, the only problem is that firefox does not detect the dpi setting, not by default. So when you change the dpi setting in the System > Preferences > Apperience > Font the change is not reflected in Firefox.
To make it look good again, open the secret :-) firefox menu by writing about:config into the URL line.
Find find layout.css.dpi variable and either specify explicitly the dpi or if you put 0 firefox will get dpi setting from the system.

And voila, your screen looks nice again.

Xilinx Spartan 3a starter kit

OK guys and gals

I just bought the xilinx spartan 3A starter kit. It is going to be here in a few weeks. About two...
I am going to keep you posted about the progress I make and the problems I am obviusly am going to have. I have some experience with vhdl and FPGA-s, but my hands on experience is very limited. So I have about two weeks to brush up on my vhdl, and read the Xilinx documentation.
