## Scaling of hdpi displays (high dots per inch)
|
|
|
|
If working on setups with varying resolutions, configuring e.g. the font
|
|
size of a terminal emulator might be difficult.
|
|
X11 allows to scale the (entire) display via X resources.
|
|
Edit/create the file `~/.Xresources` and add the following line:
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
Xft.dpi: <dpi>
|
|
|
|
# example:
|
|
Xft.dpi: 118
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To apply the changes execute `xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources`.
|
|
|
|
To make the changes permanent add `xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources` to your
|
|
`xinitrc` file, if not present already.
