Then something seems to go wrong with this auto dpi detection mechanism.
Might it detect the dpi correctly but not set the font accordingly?
That makes me wonder if my Xserver even knows the current screen dpi.
How does it get that information? It does know the resolution since that
is an essential part of xorg.conf but does it know the screen size? How
to investigate futher?
