change Xft.dpi on the fly

Raw

xft.md

This is normally in .Xresources:

$ cat .Xresources 
Xft.dpi: 130

To change it on the fly:

echo "Xft.dpi: 130" | xrdb -override -

Now restart some applications to see the effect. Some will change, some will not. For example, if you restart i3 (normally you do that with $mod+Shift+r) then you should see that the window titlebars have changed the size. For gnome-terminal however you're better off changing the font size.
