xorg_dpi.md

In ~/.Xresources (example):

! Xft.dpi:       96
Xft.dpi:       192

!URxvt.font:                       9x15,xft:TerminessTTFNerdFontMono
URxvt.font:                       xft:TerminessTTFNerdFontMono:size=14

That's all folks!

This controls the dots per inch used by most X11 apps, and also the font size in URxvt (the default terminal).
