Rather than specifying font sizes in terms of pixels (which was a bad idea from day 1), I specify my font sizes in points. Given the Xft now knows the truth (i.e., what the actual DPI of the screen is), when I ask for (say) a 12pt font, it shows up on my screen at 12pt. Not at some teeny-tiny 6 point or something
Sounds interresting. Where do you put these instruction so that TDE draws a usable desktop on a high DPI screen?
DPI settings are in the "fonts" section of kcontrol. You'd also need to set "Xft.dpi" in ~/.Xresources, too. And you'll need to to tweak the GTK settings with lxappearance. Also some applations need $GDK_DPI_SCALE and $QT_FONT_DPI. And at last you'll need to set a xcursor theme and size.
