There's a DPI setting in X which most modern desktops/apps pay |
| 10 |
attention to when scaling fonts and images, but it's ignored by older |
| 11 |
apps that use fixed, bitmapped fonts and hard-wired icon images. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
So, first check to make sure that the DPI setting is correct: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
$ grep DPI /var/log/Xorg.0.log |
| 16 |
[ 408.135] (--) NVIDIA(0): DPI set to (99, 98); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config |
| 17 |
[ 408.141] (--) NVIDIA(1): DPI set to (99, 98); computed from "UseEdidDpi" X config |
| 18 |
[ 408.145] (==) intel(2): DPI set to (96, 96) |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
On anything even remotely modern, it should get read auto-magically |
| 21 |
from the display itself. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
If that's correct, then I'm not sure what the next step would be. |
