Thanks. Both methods work. I can just kill the gsd process and the Xft resource is correctly picked up and gives a nice result. The gsettings approach also works. I did not look into it in detail but the Xft seems to give visually better results. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

Looking at differences between fedora-26-minimal (where Xft.dpi works) and fedora-26 (where it doesn't), it seems that gsd-settings (from the gnome-settings-daemon package) overrides the dpi setting. The following works: - in VMs with gnome-settings-daemon: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface scaling-factor 2 gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface text-scaling-factor 0.75 - in VMs without gnome-settings-daemon (or when gsd-settings is prevented from starting): set the 'Xft.dpi: XXX' xresource Note that by default glib applications (like xterm) use non xft fonts, so if you want to have scaling in xterm you have to set an xft font like so: XTerm*faceName: DejaVu Sans Mono:size=14:antialias=true I'm attaching my $HOME/.Xresources file if you want to have a look. Please let me know what works and what doesn't so that I update the doc and the official issue... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.

There's probably a package in fedora-26 (that I don't have in my templates) which is messing up with the dpi setting; I'll update the doc and I'll reply here if I find out what's causing that.
