Hi,
I've updated the X server in Xenocara to version 21.1.1, together with
Freetype (2.11.0) and fontconfig 2.13.94.
One of the visible change of this update is that some LCD panels now
report their real physical dimensions to the X server, rather than
just computing it based on a default resolution of 96dpi.
This means that the actual DPI computed from these dimensions will
change and impact the size of the displayed fonts.
If your fonts have chanded sizes too much after the last snapshot
update, you can add
xrandr --dpi 96
in your ~/.xsession (or ~/.xinitrc) file to set the resolution
manually to the previous default.
You can also fiddle with the X resources (~/.Xresources ) to fix
font sizes in invidual applications. Older X applications are more
likely to mis-behave and need the global dpi fix.

Hi Matthieu
Thanks for this. Just a minor hiccup:
After upgrading I can no longer use .bcf fonts via Xft, as I think they
stopped being picked up by fontconfig (don't show up on fc-list). Are
you aware if anything fundamental changed on that side of things? I'm
fairly sure the config is (still) correct, since other OTFs and TTFs on
the same directory are available.
Thanks in advance
Zé
