1-to make GTK3 apps accommodate, set Xft.dpi as desired.

Fair enough. How is this done? I have no file called Xft.dpi, and xrdb -query reports an Xft.dpi value of 120. So where and how does one configure Xorg to employ a higher value?

Xft.dpi is an Xresource. Setting it in ~/.Xresources should work per user. It used to work in ~/.Xdefaults, and still might. How to do it globally varies by distro. e.g. Mageia sets it to 96 in /etc/X11/ in two different Xresources regular files, while in other distros, Xresources is a directory in /etc/X11/.

I wrote in my last post (see #3) why you have 120.
