Hi,
Check your DPI by typing into a terminal
xrdb -query | grep dpi
To set it permanently for your session, type the following at the terminal:
echo "Xft.dpi:96" >> ~/.Xdefaults
xrdb -merge ~/.Xdefaults
Then put the last line at the beginning of your autostart.sh, to
make the adjustment
permanent.
That should do the trick.
Regards,
