[openbox] using openbox with HiDPi display

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi,

Thanks, I did not have to use the xrandr -dpi 192 command: I had no .xinitrc and including that was crashing my login/openbox.

However, things generally appear to work, but not everything. In fact, I use the font for emacs to be Fixed 10x20 but this is too small: it is not scaling. Any suggestions as to what I should be doing?

Best wishes,
Ranjan
