I tried your methods but they don't seem to have an effect. It seems
xrandr can't change the screen DPI when I am using the nvidia binary
driver (xrandr already thinks it is correct anyways). The Xft settings
don't seem to change the font sizes. Thanks for the ideas!
What I did find works is if I launch xfsettingsd all windows get themed
(including fonts) using the xfce settings... which does the trick. I'm
not sure if this is a fix or a bandaid at this point. The font size/dpi
settings are a pretty twisted web since there are a million ways to
specify them given all the different toolkits and desktop
environments... and the they all override/ignore each other in fairly
unpredictable ways.
No idea if this information will be useful to anyone else... maybe the
issue is specific to my setup.

Hi James,
there are two ways to fix this, either one might work:
xrandr --dpi 96
or add
Xft*dpi: 96
to your ~/.Xdefaults (and add xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults to your startup
sequence).
