Is Linux better than Windows for large fonts?

[Dr. Michael J. Chudobiak]

Hi all,

I like to set the font sizes on my displays to extra-large, so I can 
read them easily. On W2K, I set the font size to 150% - but this garbles 
many applications (text gets clipped, etc). I've never had a similar 
problem on Fedora.

Is there a particular reason why large font handling seems to be better 
in linux?

Just curious...
