I was happy with 96 DPI everywhere until I bought new laptop that jam-packed 1920x1080 into 13.3" screen.

Jumping between 24" and 13.3" displays 2-3 times a day suddenly became a pain.

Getting back to ways of configuring DPI: After some more digging I found that fontconfig falls back to xrdb, so this simplifies the setup down to two locations: xrandr+xrdb (as long as DPI is unset in fontconfig).

Scriptable and hookable anyway, still a mess, but a bit more clear.

not even the ones that don't support scaling up icons, margins, etc.
I've left my X setting at 96 but run the 'fonts' configuration at
150 and have firefox set to double its layout. I could try fussing with
settings more, but nothing seems weird at this point.
