The problem is that setting DPI to anything other than 96 breaks many
applications and toolkits, not just font sizing but GUI rendering 
breakage. Historical cruft unfortunately but you have to deal with it.

Even the recent Xorg 21.1.2 release had to revert this type of change;
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=35af1299e73483eaf93d913a960e1d1738bc7de6

I've personally patched Enlightenment 0.25 to fix commit
4b87781bae4a6ea70e5b6f38683e7c2ea0fd2c27 "scaling - remove custon x
application dpi and move to central scaling" by reverting to 96dpi by
default. Also needed to go through Settings-Look-Scaling-Advanced and
then either unset "Set Application DPI" or adjust it to 96 to update
the existing saved setting.

I personally like Enlightements own fonts to be small whilst
applications are normal.

(Sorry for breaking mail archive threading, wasn't subscribed until
now.)
