                          On Linux the DPI (dot per inch) is set to 96 per default, it can be changed globally on the X start up parameter for instance X -dpi 120

This seem to **mainly impact** text/font scaling. In comparison when screen resolution (ex 1920x1080) is changed this impact everything (window/text/image/etc). 

**Is DPI meant only for text scaling?**
