That's not the entire truth. It does apply to legacy applications that use only 
X11 primitives for font rendering, but AFAIK libXft (`man Xft`) does provide a 
global scale factor representing the DPI resolution of the screen (or rather, 
entire desktop):

```
> xrdb -query | fgrep Xft
Xft.antialias:  1
Xft.autohint:   0
Xft.dpi:        86
Xft.hinting:    1
Xft.hintstyle:  hintfull
Xft.lcdfilter:  lcddefault
Xft.rgba:       rgb
```
