This notebook has a 185 dpi display, but I have followed the guidelines for [High DPI](https://en.opensuse.org/High_DPI) and everything was, more or less, fine. Today I updated the system (sudo zypper update) and after a reboot the characters in every XTerm are way too small, while the characters in all the other applications I have opened are OK with respect to character size. I've found something suspicious in the output of xdpyinfo 21:41 boffi@localhost:~ $ xdpyinfo | grep inch resolution: 96x96 dots per inch 21:41 boffi@localhost:~ $ but I'm not sure that before the reboot the resolution was correct. Any suggestion? --- Post Scriptum 21:43 boffi@localhost:~ $ xrandr --dpi 185 fixes the issue, but there is a way to have Xorg started with the correct resolution? --- PPost Scriptum 22:05 boffi@localhost:~ $ xrdb -q | grep -i dpi Xft.dpi: 175 22:06 boffi@localhost:~ $ On the other hand, XTerm _should_ also depend on this value.
