Good question, and one for which I have no answer. I was on chat with some of the
Linux-for-Gemini developers as I was setting up the machine, and I mentioned that changing
the dpi from 4XX to 2XX might make my tired old eyes better able to see stuff on the
screen. Whereupon it was said that as shipped it had a x2 zoom factor built in.

plugged in an x2 zoom such that it's effectively 1080x540. If it
Plugged in where and how? Xft.dpi is the foundation on which Gnome/GTK built its
zoom knob. You should try
incorporating it instead of kludging around it. Set it in Xresources (or TDE
desktop settings if it offers something close enough to what Xorg is or you
want) to whatever DPI number xdpyinfo or tdecmshell xserver reports and work
from there, keeping resolution at your display's native.
I am most very interested in this, and have no experience with it. I changed DPI long ago
(how long? Well, it was in xf86config) and I think maybe in a KDE setting once or twice.
But I know nothing of a zoom knob or where I might experiment with it. Any advice/help
with it would be appreciated.
