6 Depends on your desktop. I'm not sure if XFCE supports this, but in KDE
7 everything scales to my monitor's DPI automatically.

9 What is the output of:
10
11 xdpyinfo | grep -i resolution
12
13 (The utility is in the x11-apps/xdpyinfo package.)
14
15 On such a small screen, the result should be a very high DPI (around
16 282.) If that's not the number you get, then your graphics driver is
17 reporting it wrong to Xorg, and you need to set it manually.
