Do you want to make money creating extensions?

Instead of building a whole new package you can just change the dpi

Thank you maro.

Found what was wrong with .Xdefaults: it was to have a line modified, not a new line added.

That would probably save a lot of effort. What is the command to change the dpi permanently?

Hi maro
Based on both your initial reply, and your many other helpful posts, I don't think your motives
were ever in question.

I think these misunderstandings come up easily when taking notable action like the closing of a thread, feelings of aversion can be amplified.

Just found a system-wide setting for the dpi: in .Xdefaults you can type this:

Xft.dpi: 120

But only seen it working in firefox, it does not affect flwm, neither terminals, nor TCB default apps.

That's only for scalable fonts. The X server decides the system DPI, how to override it depends on the server.

You should be able to use the -dpi switch

Code: [Select]

Xvesa -dpi 75 -br -screen 1024x768x24 -nolisten tcp or set it in xorg.conf for Xorg

Is the following what you mean by overriding the X server's DPI?
