Edit ~/.Xresources and add

Xft.dpi: 200

(or whatever your dpi is) then restart VM.  I've several Linux HoDPI
systems and this is most general fix I've found.

Only been Qubesing for a couple days but works there on my X1.

Should be able to put this in /etc/X11/Xresources in template (where it's
set to 96) but for some reason that doesn't seemnto do it for me & I've not
looked for why that is yet...
