I had to change the screen of my Dell Inspiron 1520. This laptop has GM965/GL960 integrated Graphic Controller. I could not get the original replacement screen. So the one that i got has a very high resolution: 1920x1200. It looks better and brighter than before but every thing - icons etc, looks so small and sometime i find difficult to read the font. When i lower the resolution with ‘Configure display setting’ the items look bigger but less sharp and the screen leaves empty spaces right and left.
What should i do to see the icons and fonts on desktop and elsewhere somewhat bigger with the current resolution (1920x1200)?

I have adjusted the DPI as suggested by you. It has improved most fonts but some, such as menu title fonts of konsole for example, have not improved. Any remedy for them?
Since konsole is a kde app, I assume you’re running KDE4. Font type and size for KDE windows, menus and dialogues can be adjusted in system settings > appearance > fonts. (I’m translating from my system, in english system settings may appear as personal settings in KDE menu).
Now if you’re running another DE (like gnome) and konsole, I have no idea.
No idea, really. In KDE you can choose among a number of KDE-like themes for GTK apps, the default being oxigen-gtk. In gnome maybe you have something similar, or perhaps the font size is buried in some obscure config file the gnome developers don’t deem necessary for you to have access to. I understand this is - or was - part of gnome’s philosophy to simplify things.
