I can't seem to get anything on gtk3 although it looks like some

not sure how to determine this. if I do
apt-cache policy libgtk2.0-0
I get: "Installed: 2.24.31-2"
Only the GTK3 version is relevant to the potential problem of GTK3-built apps
not obeying your TDE font settings, which may have nothing to do with the tiny
fonts you are actually seeing. Save
http://fm.no-ip.com/Share/Linux/xorg.conf-minimal-EDID-workaround to use as
an /etc/X11/xorg.conf template. Create in it an uncommented DisplaySize line.
Using half the values reported above that produce 96x96 /should/ produce 192x192
as a place to start your experiments:
DisplaySize 423 213 # 192 DPI @ 3200x1800
I tried this value and the fonts were grotesquely large on the login
page but once logged in I saw no difference.
what I (think I) am missing is the correct values for HorizSync and
VertRefresh - I couldn't infer them from what you wrote or from the
link; I used the ones in the template without success (forget now
what happened).
I fooled a bit with HorizSync and VertRefresh and at one point I got a
fair font size but Horizontal was too short. not sure if this is
what I should play with and if so, how to calculate the correct
values.
am I right that I should fool with HorizSync and VertRefresh? I have
also entered:
Option "PreferredMode" "3200x1800"
any further guidance welcome.
